Very last crosscheck

Norbert verifying the standing rigging

D-3 ⏰ The team and I have been busy with all the preparations for my departure this Monday at 10AM!! ⛵🌏🌊 Finally! Now I really can’t wait to go to the Arctic to cool down ❄☃😀 because it’s been very hot the last couple of days here… with 35°C outside and 42°C inside the boat 🥵 !! Even though I know for sure I will be missing the warm weather once I am in the cold place 😊

We are doing the very last verification and crosscheck of the standing rigging and setting the genoa (medium foresail) which is for safety reasons mounted on the fixed furler.
