I wish to start off by thanking all those people that came down to the quayside to see Lee off on this awesome adventure that she is undertaking. It was originally only going to be about 7 or 8 people and then all of a sudden there were nearly 50 there. I know that she was blown away by it and if she was unable to spend any time with you, please don’t be offended. She was really struggling to deal with her emotions and was not finding it easy to say hello or goodbye.
We are still battling to get used to the methods of communication and who is doing what. This is an international effort with Nicolas (Sasha’s husband) also receiving news and updates and then we have to correlate everything and forward it on to the interested people. Nicolas, for those that are interested, has arrived safely in Australia with their children.
I have only received a tiny bit of news and that was sent yesterday at about midday.
Lee and Sasha are both fine but are however very seasick. They were struggling to find wind yesterday, with the result that the yacht spent a lot of the time bobbing up and down over the small swell. All minor issues with the boat have been sorted out (I did not know that there were any). They are also trying to get to grips with the personal communication systems that they need to use and it could be a few days before things are running smoothly.
The last position update was that on Sunday morning at 10am they were at 35.2S, 18.31E. You can see this on the attached map. The arrows and colour scale represent the currents at the same time.
As soon as I receive blog updates from Lee, I will post them and inform all.
