This year my big project is to sail across the Atlantic. I've gotten myself a job as cook (read: galley slave) on a 50 foot catamaran on the annual Atlantic Rally for Cruiser's race.

We leave Nov 26th from Las Palmas in the Grand Canaries, and should finish in St. Lucia, Caribbean around Dec 16th.

In case you want to follow our progress, I'll be sailing on ADEIA, a Lagoon 500 catamaran (www.cata-lagoon.com/500_pres_uk.php). The ARC website is: arc.worldcruising.com/en/.

I will try to post logs occasionally, but if not, will surely send an update once I'm on the other side.

you know you should read instructions FIRST when:

you win a photo competition and then realise that you didn't take the photo in sufficient resolution to be counted.

in happier news - erin is visiting HK for a week! hooray. :)
