WEDNESDAY 10th FEBRUARY
2010
04.00 hrs The Skipper took over watch, the
wind was light at 14knots fine on the starboard bow,
We were motor sailing at 6 knots over the ground
and the sky was cloudy,
06.00hrs, It actually got chilly so the Skipper had
to go looking for a wind jacket to keep warm.
Imagine that nearly on the equator and its chilly, Wow
Next item on the agenda, the Blog and emails, The daily duties....
08.00hrs, the tide turned ,so for the first time we
had a 1 knot current with us, but still cloudy and still Motor
Sailing.
09.10 hrs We Crossed the EQUATOR, still
wearing the jacket,
10.30hrs, More Fishermen, We gave them crisps and
peanuts and they gave us a huge Mahi Mahi fish, we taught we did well out of
that transaction.
Otherwise it was a lazy morning, with the staff
reading and taking naps.
12.00hrs More fisherman, Fat's decided to
give them buiscuits this time, but guess what, yeah, missed their boat and
fucked the precious
packet into the sea, What a Langer, if he wasent so
friggin big, we would have thrown him in to retrieve them
ourselves..
Kevin had a look at the hand held G.P.S at the
request of the Skipper, but failed to get it up and running,
we had " Frankfurthers" for lunch and they filled
the gap,
the afternoon was boring, clouds and nothing
to do till Donal did the dinner at 19.00hrs
This was the Fish we got earlier from the
fishermen, and it was just lovely and mild.
Night Watches :-
Kevin .................21.00hrs to 01.00hrs
Fat's....................01.00hrs to 05.00hrs
Skipper.............../o5.00hrs to 09.00 hrs
thats it for today,
