English term or phrase: be on standby
The Brittany Ferries 100-mile trophy has been fantastic training and for us to sail as a team and push the boat. It is very much part of the training for the end of this year whish is a solo transatlantic record from New York over to this side, the mouth of the English Channel. So this has been practicing for that, I cannot wait to get stuck into that and we will be on standby during September/October"
