Team assembling


We left Topsham in the trusty Volvo at 5am. Picking up David and Chris en route we had an easy trip to Barmouth. Beeline was still where I left her, but another ten boats have arrived. Fourteen more are due in today, with lots of last minute sorting out to do.
Radio Devon rang and want to talk to us this afternoon. Everyone jumps smartly backwards so it may well be me that has to do the honours.
We are meeting the runners Steve and Andy with Lucy this evening and greatly looking forward to the famous pre race meal at Merioneth Yacht Club. Wendy and Norma, Dennis and Mike and Taf have already made us very welcome.
We will have all five of us on board tonight and heavy rain is expected. It will be very cosy. Kelly has said she would prefer to stay in the Volvo, maybe all week!
