Windy enough for you? Hahahaha, it should be amazing. Really looking forward to it. Radixon, put your name on the RTIR forum. There will be lots of people looking for crew I'd imagine.

Will be on a Beneteau 37. Very much looking forward to the experience, whatever the conditions. First time on a 'big' boat and a monohull in 10 years. ------------- Bruce Shadow002 |
