And so it begins…

Our trip to France for the Student Yachting World Cup started early this morning— 7.45am from the GUU steps. We packed our bags into a minibus full of sand (thanks surf club) and headed out, making a quick stop for haggis, IRNBRU and a bottle of whiskey to share with the other countries at tomorrow night’s welcome banquet. The first half of our ourney has passed quickly– an audiobook by John Le Carré (which only Charlie actually followed) and a solid 3 hour nap for the girls.. waking up in England. Made out first stop, filled up the bus and £8 of chocolate later we were back on our way. 155 miles until we pick up our TEAM SCOTLAND kit then another 20 to the ferry… see you on the other side!

Oh yeah, we also picked up our team Scotland kit on they way. Boom!
