Heartbeat IV crew and travel plans getting sorted now. Confirmed team so far is Paul B, Sarah G, Dani S, Nic P, Mark H, Tim, Trevor , JJPJ and JEPJ. Said farewell to Roger and Megan T and the girls who are off back to New Zealand. Will be much missed but hoping that Rog will fly out to Antigua. He and Nic P are the two team members who have done all the classic offshores that HBIV has done. Getting in swing of things by watching Rolex Sydney-Hobart start – comforting to see in this clip of the start that Comanche, Wild Oats XI, Rambler etc appear to have pretty much same running commentaries on their starts as HBIV. And as the race unfolds doesn’t matter how big or hi-tech your boat, you have same problems as those of us lower down the foodchain!. Currently Comanche retired with rudder damages and then un-retired – can you do that? Wild Oats XI out with a ripped main and Perpetual Loyal with a broken rudder.
