Rest and preparation

17:15 BST Saturday 4th July, Gdynia, Poland
Today has been restful. The organisers arrnaged for a tour of the "Tri-cities" - Gdynia, Sopot and Gdansk. Gdynia was built between 1922 and 1926 when it was decided that a new port was needed. Gdansk was largely re-built after WW2, in the same style as it was before. There was a heavy dutch presence in the middle ages and the old town is worth a much longer explore than we had time for.
The crowds along the quayside are even thicker than before. It is difficult to get around. The sun is very hot but we are somewhat cooler within Pegasus. Around us there are signs of boats being made ready to leave. We have removed the sail cover (which had been providing a very welcome sun shade), ready to put our race number onto the sail. Every boat must display its number during the race.
Diggory and Amy are currently delayed at the Captains Briefing where they are learning the plan for the first race leg. Phil has prepared a kedgeree for our final meal before it's back to watches.
What we know about tomorrow is that we need to be ready to leave port at 08.45 but we have no idea exactly when the boat will be called to leave. The organisers have to get all the boats out beyond the harbour wall where they will sail up and down as a "Parade of Sail" for the citizens of Gdynia. Then, in the late afternoon, the race itself will begin.
