Girls for Sail on tour

Girls for Sail found time inbetween their chocolate eating binges and nail varnishing sessions to send this report from the start

Sunday 23 November

This is it, girls D-Day at last. After a cooked breakfast on board we set off and joined the excitement on the start line. We thought at one point we might have a rudder problem but after a diver's inspection we put our directional difficulties down to excess of chocolate, crisps, pasta and nail varnish.

We were becalmed quite early but were kept entertained by S texting her new love on a nearby yacht!

Our potential Yachtmaster no names mentioned (L), had a slight problem throwing a line. This manifested itself in Las Palmas when she nearly strangled a local fisherman on our departure.

It will take us a day or two to settle but at least we are now on the move full of hope.
