After a night in the Northrop sail loft in Ramsgate Harbour and a hearty breakfast, the Raiders packed their kit into the rib. Both F18's were safely moored in the outer harbour, whilst the rib was kept overnight in the inner harbour to assist with ferrying kit and the Raiders to their cats.
Last minute repairs to kit bags and drysuits meant that all was loaded in the rib but on inspection it was found that a cargo net was needed to keep all the kit stable onboard. No problem - Team Raider Northrop 'ran up' a rather flash cargo net so that all the team knew that their 'clean pants' were safe and not to be lost overboard (unlike Williams!).
Leaving their moorings, there was rather a long wait to exit the harbour due to an incoming ferry, but both F18's and rib left at approximately 11.30am so as to make their way in a marvellous sunny force 3 in the direction of Rye.
