Less than a week to go!

We now have just a few days left to go. The Pacific high is setting up nicely for us with some strong winds close to shore. We are hoping for good wind in the first couple of days because our sailplan is tilted toward the downwind part of the race and Narrow Escape has never been mistaken as an uphill climber.

Among many many other preparatory activities the skipper has been able to add a couple of decals (pronounced (dee-cal). We have our homeport on the stern and big maple leaf at the front of the boat to cut the waves.

This morning we are all getting checked out on the watermaker. That installation was completed yesterday afternoon and our guy is going to come back this morning to show us how it all works. We have told him to make sure he installed this equipment as if our life depended on it (which of course it does).
