It's more than a little cliched but this was the moment we'd been waiting for. Of course as usual there were a bunch jobs to be sorted before we could cast off. Adrian from Insight Marine was down to help out with the electrics and instruments. Alex and I also needed to attach the bracket for outboard - a job which carried out with the maximum of effort.
And then it was off...check out the gallery for some photos of our first weekend of sailing... |

 The finished keel box The main task was to glass in the keel box - which surrounds the keel and stops the water pouring into the boat. It's not a structural or load bearing bit of the boat but you certainly wouldn't want to lose it if it sustained some sort of impact. |

A Mini campaign is certainly not all about sailing. Much of it it about onshore organisation and administration. And for that side of things there is no bigger day that February 15th. This is the day that entries open for the 2006 calendar of races.
That means running around finding entry forms on websites, e-mailing race orgnisers and trying to track down IBAN and BIC codes for sending entry fees. For those of us in the UK things are a little more complicated, relying on international bank transfers instead of cheques, exchanging pounds into euros, and depending on the British postal system as well as the French one as many of the forms need to be physically mailed in.
