Four weeks to go

Ciao Bella has finally made it into the waters of Table Bay.  While the mast is still having work done on it, the bottom has been smoothed (thanks to cheap child-labour) and sprayed (thanks to the work of Hecky).

With four of the team-members safely on their way to Australia (to partake in the Mirror World Champs), the rest of us are all now down in Cape Town and will try get the last of the maintenance issues dealt with.  It definitely does not help that most shops/businesses are closed for the next four days, but hopefully this will be a good excuse for a couple of good sails to take place over the next few days.
