We have had a great week in Las Palmas as we continued preparations for the start of the rally. We participated in the reforestation project up on the mountain overlooking the city. We have attended relevant seminars on a daily basis. We passed the requisite safety inspection. The start is today at 1300 local time (0800 Eastern time). We expect to have a fast run to the Cape Verde islands.
