Cork here we come!
At last!! Puma Logic has headed out into the Irish Sea and is getting ever nearer to Cork.....
Most of the crew are flying out this evening and are eager to get training ready for the racing action starting Monday.
Skipper Philippe has gained 2 extra crew in Falmouth, but with the wind veering North Westerley, exactly the direction they are heading, it is going to be another interesting night. However, the wind has finally decided to calm down and the rain has at last dissipated, so with a calmer sea in prospect tonight, spirits may well be a little higher than they have been all week. Ben will at last have the chance to get off the helm, and actually get some sleep, something which he is longing for desperately!
Meanwhile, arrangements in Cork have been going ahead without the yacht and everything is in place for a great week of sailing.
