Race day at last!
Original article · 19 April 2009

We woke to a brilliant day sun shine and no wind!  We said goodbye to our accommodation at Geraldton yacht club who have been a fantastic support.  After last minute tweeking of the steering and stowing away of supplies we headed off to the main beach where the race was to start.  Geraldton had done us proud and the beach was full of supporters.  Our family and friends were on board a boat to see us on our way courtesy of Peter Groom.......................we have cleared land and are currently 10 miles off shore.  We are about to experience our first night aboard Flying Ferkins....................watch this space for our next update.
