Simon and Steve woke early, however they were running a little slow due to the excess drinking on the flight, which continued in dippers bar, and was rounded off with a carryout back to the boat.
The motley crew departed in search of a shower and some breakfast.
The shower gave Steve & Simon a new lease of life, after the showers and shaves, focus quickly shifted to breakfast, however the food wagon had a different agenda 
Frank donned the chef’s apron and provided a heather breakfast of bran or weetabix, whilst welcome it was no substitute for an egg cutter.
With breakfast dispensed with, it was time to hone the Happy Morning.
Simon and David used their sock mending skills and made running repairs to the sails.
Tom worked his magic mending the ropes, whilst newbie Steve was allocated the role of swabbing the decks.
The boat and crew are at last ready to hoist they sails and go for a practice run, before tomorrow’s two restaurants race.
The practice went well the only casualty being one hat lost overboard.
After all off the hard work it was time for a swim before making our way to the bar to discuss tactics before the race.
Enough of this time for another beer 
