Final preps are complete ahead of the start tomorrow of the single handed Mini 650 Barcelona race in the RG650.
Rigging checked and double checked, hull dived on, and food bought. Many thanks to palma health and slurp crunch for their super foods and nutritional advice (I added a few items to the list… Guess what ones).
Final briefing is tonight (in Spanish) when we will find out the course and know our fate. Fingers crossed its the down wind option.
