6th August 2010

Evening all.

I'm heading for the Guinness Book of Records and the production line is nearly burnt out, just like Paolo did with his shutter.. Thanks for your feedback to keep going. Sure ye's are great support.

This is a bare boner...............

We had a lively meeting on Wednesday and thanks to all who were able to come. Thanks also to Eoin for making it ashore in time to answer what we couldn't! The rest of you can catch up here.

News continued to flow in from various friends and well wishers for the arrival of Amira, a whopping 10lb + +. Mark got lotsa credit but I'm sure there was more to it than that! I doubt he did it on his own. (Watch this space)

We made a lot of progress and decisions on Wednesday:

1. Meet at Sailing Club 12.16 latest for briefing and light refreshment. Bring gear as recommended, be warm, soft shoes, hat, suncream(?), for boat, full camera kit, batteries, cards etc. Someone suggested a tripod so we'll wait and see............El Presidente has led from the top by climbing the big mast in the past so let's keep his example up and await his pep talk on the morning.
