Getting dressed for the arrival - a trans atlantic haircut


Hi,
we now have 230 NM to go until Rodney bay. If the wind keeps blowing with around 20 knots we should be able to arrive between 9th and 10th of december.
What do we have do besides a new hair cut?
-Get the fenders out and inflate them (some are deflates to give more storage space
-Get the mooring lines ready
-Get the white sails ready (since the last mile will be against the wind we can not use the Parasailor)
-Get the papers ready for customs
-Hoist the ARC banner and the St Lucia courtesy flag
-Attach our Rally ID (213) to the starbord side (we had it all on the other side for the start)
-check in the maps where the finishing line is
-get the radio ready for the pre finishing call on VHF channel 77
-Pose for the finishing line picture by a professional photographer
-Be ready to get seasick once the ground is not moving any more :-)
