Welcome

This blog is about my first Atlantic Crossing as crew on board the Swan 51, Northern Child. I few to Las Palmas on Wednesday the 17th November 2010 to meet my 9 fellow crew members for the first time. We were about to sail in the racing division of the ARC 2010 to St Lucia in the Carribean. The race started on Sunday November the 21st 2010, depending on wind and currents it was expected to take us between 14-18 days to complete the 2,900 mile crossing.

We're Off!


The man who fixed our gearbox and wouldn't accept any money.
So we gave him our whiskey.
 Fantastic news! The problems with the gearbox have been fixed and we have set sail. 4.20pm UK time and only two hours behind the rest of the fleet. Now we have to make up the distance.
