Lindy is finally looking like a boat again. More melting in the extreme and little relief in the shade or below. We took Lindy out to have her southern compass swung and the fluxgate compass calibrated and all was good. The container is finally looking a little more empty and we have been going through all we need for the race. All the docs are close to being complete as well which is huge. And small jobs are getting completed although the ones we attempt later in the day take f o r e v e r !
Today (Day 5) is huge as Joe gets interviewed so check out the website and all international sites for his appearance. He is actually going to shave and ay very well change his now-gray coloured Lindy shirt for a white one. He is part of a panel all about the race and will answer all sorts of questions about prep, planning, motivation, etc. It is a huge honour actually as he is basically representing North America. Stay tuned on that one. 10AM on 15 December from Cruising Yacht Club of Australia!
And the weather finally broke. It has been raining since last night and the air temps finally dropped to 20C or so. A really decent night’s sleep was finally possible.
TTFN.
