Enjoy the trip - looking forward to reading Matt's blogs. Hope that your cooking is up to scratch - standards have been set on previous trips.

Ash - looking forward to my own trip down the North Sea on Sunday night, courtesy of P&O.

Tx for that.

Off to Glasgow in a couple of hours. Nothing heard from Mojomo since reports of a seriously lively party a few days ago - hopefully they are still there.

Nick, I havent heard the full details of this trip but am assuming it is a x Atlantic trip?
I am sure you will be a very valued member of crew onboard.
Good luck and enjoy.

Hi Eamonn,

Yes, it's a Transat - ARC2011, leaving here (Las Palmas) on Sunday midday for St Lucia.

Party on board tonight, just getting going now as I type this. Disco lights and a glitter ball in the cockpit, lots of dangerous punch . . .

Looking forward to the trip; more details on the Mailasail blog en-route.
