Off at last but not without incident. I took the boat away from dock (wind pushing us onto the dock) and bumped the back on someone’s metal bowsprit scratching the gel and the “Hakuna Matata” transfer. At the time I thought I’d made a mistake with the throttles but what actually happened is that an engine cut which happens if the throttle power is very rapidly from hard forward to hard reverse which now we know about we are able to avoid. The boat being electric gives the impression you can do anything with the engines but they still need some respect even if not to the same extent as a diesel. Fuelled up and then out to the needles (pictured) and on course for Start point. We are now officially on the 3 day rotating watch system and today is day 1.
