So here we are at The St Georges Dinghy & Sports Club (32N 23' 064W 38') getting our ship shipshape and doing any final jobs to get the list closed off.
The autopilot man is here adding a new "pod". When he's finished, we need to go out into the bay and turn the boat slowly through 360 degrees to make sure Real North is pointed at by our North.
We'll be getting the weather soon and will sort out our routing.
Then we can do any final stowing and get started towards Horta, The Azores.
Next blog will be when I get a chance from the boat.
