We have just signed up for the ARC - an Atlantic crossing of some 2600 miles of open ocean which departs from Gran Canaria on 25th November. Our boat Jay Jay will be one of over 200 craft setting off on the same day to cross the pond, destination Rodney Bay, St Lucia.
During the coming months, we will be preparing the boat for the journey, trying out all the kit to make sure it works, and then we will be heading off in stages to cover the 1800 miles or so to the Canaries via Madeira arriving there in good time to enjoy the pre-event festivities.
I will be posting my blog at every opportunity.
