Its getting close

Hi everyone,
So it has been quite some time since I last wrote but a lot has happened.
There is now only 94 days until the start gun and things are finally starting to happen.
There is yet to be any news on the sponsor front but I have become affiliated with a not for profit organisation called ‘The A21 Campaign’ they are all about abolishing human injustice in the 21st century and focus particularly on the issue of human trafficking of young girls for the sex trade. 
Currently Murray Wilkes is trying to organise for as many boats as possible to carry the logo either on their sail or a sticker on the hull to help raise awareness. Printing will begin on our main sail in the next few weeks and we hope to start raising awareness of this huge issue through our great sport of sailing. EVERY LITTLE BIT HELPS.  So find out more and head to www.thea21campaign.org
Renovations are complete and it’s time to start tweaking the broken bits and installing the new gear. I have some photos of our progress. Currently Natelle is on the slip having a bit of TLC, she is due back in the water early next week.
The new number 3 heady is on the way to help us do our best.
Crew shirts will be ordered soon so any one that wants one better get their order in.
Hopefully the publicity will start soon and you will hopefully be seeing me here and there.
Entries are in and I claimed the title of the first Tasmanian boat to enter.
THINGS left TO DO: they are numerous but we will get there the important things are fixing the fridge, getting the boat measured and obtaining safety certificates.
I plan on updating a lot more often these days as time quickly ticks away. So get behind A 21, myself and the red boat and follows us on the blog and the S2H website.
See you all at the finish line.
