A very funny Sunday morning was had before leaving to come
up here. As we will be living in a house with a bunch of sailors and very
little privacy, we decided to have our Christmas morning Sunday just gone.
We did everything the way would normally – Cup of tea to
start (Mrs S just doesn’t function without this), turn on the Christmas tree
lights (very weird – the sun shining through the large glass mass of windows in
our lounge) and settle down to opening our pressies from each other. It was weird
but we got through it. Then breakfast - poached eggs with Smoked Salmon and hollandaise
on Rye Bread. Lovely!!
So, that was our Christmas – now for the job in hand. So, we’re
here in the house loaned to us by Eclipse Computing (my employer – thanks Brad),
preparing for later in the week when the rest of the crew arrive. The real issue
is that it’s pissing it down (Cats and Dogs).
Anyway, the big race is getting really close now and I’m beginning to get excited and nervous. We went to CYCA to take a look at the boat and I picked up my official pass (another wave came over me at the boat).
I will try and post bits as we get closer to the big day.
Stay monitoring this blog for more details.
