It was good to get away from the dock and be at sea again, getting the boat and team ready ends up being really busy and things are a lot less complicated at sea.

It was a relief to get round the short course and get out into the open with a bit more space about us.

We have had a good first night, with leggers settling in, and some good helming from the team. My sailing muscles are ready for the windy down wind, fingers crossed for a cracking sail.
