… Turns out all we had to do was drop the ‘t’ and ‘trace day’ effortlessly manoeuvres into ‘race day’!
The lock system ran like clockwork… Boats in and out with lock master banter and Ressie throws off her marina shackles as we head to the start line.
The start promises to have a distinct lack of jockeying for pole position unlike Greenwich twilights…we will be one of 12 … Couple of cats, a few oyster catchers, with Finnish, Swiss, American, Guernsey, English and Scottish crews and all of them wannabe Aussies!
We are moored amongst the border patrol boats and local fishing fleets in what looks like a motoring kind of day…. Lombok bound!
