We are now approaching Whitehaven. It seems fairly gloomy around out there. This is ok for us as I am pretty confident we know the way up scafell pike. The passage across was pretty calm and we have had a good night's sleep. We have also eaten reasonably well. It would be nice to say that we are raring to go, but it is not quite like that.
The next thing we need to do is to get our bikes sorted out. The team bike mechanic is making loud sleepy noises. We are going to have to stop that pretty soon.
The wind had been really good a minute ago, but has now died a bit. The lead boats are waiting for the tide to get into Whitehaven, so we have effectively just about caught them up. If we run and bike well, we should be able to get back just in time for the first lock out. The first lock out in tactix, with her shallow draught is earlier than the first lock out for the other boats, so there is some motivation to get a move on on the mountain.
