So it was up for an early start from the Rivergate Marina. With tearful goodbyes from those on board and those who we were leaving behind, we then motored out along the river for 5 hours to the race start line which was off shore. Then the jinx struck again, before we started the race all the electrics blew on our boat. So it was back to the marina for us and an overnight stay before getting the fuses fixed, setting out again, 20 hours behind the rest of the fleet, at least we have got the other boats to chase.
If you guys didn't have bad luck you'd have no luck. Hope this gives “Team Mat” the impetus to rise to the challenge and have a great passage that changes your fortunes.
