Nyamezela is packed into her container, and ready to sail away, courtesy of Schenker (specialist in worldwide logistics). Schenker came to the party - as it did for the last race - to ensure that Nyamezela arrives at the start in La Gomera in good time, and then comes home from Antigua safely. All Pete has to do (!) is row her across the Atlantic Ocean in between.

Pete, Cliffy, Nic, Neville, Andre and Alexis worked hard in the boiling sun and oven of the container to make sure that Nyamezela was strapped down securely so there won’t be any bumps and nicks during the voyage. The Schenker team made sure that Pete and Cliff were well-fed by providing delicious sandwiches and Coke to keep them energised. (You guys rock!) Nyamezela should reach La Gomera in the Canary Islands around 9 November. Let’s hope there aren’t any nerve-wracking delays like last time.

Nyamezela’s land legs (her trailer) have found a safe home at Schenker until she returns. Thanks Schenker!
