Original ETA ...............25th
march @08.30hrs
00.00hrs The wind had droppep and it was a
beautifull starry night again
02.00hrs, The skipper came to the deck and Fats
went to the scratcher, and soon the dolphins were dancing to " The Sound of
Snoring "
The wind had now dropped to 10 / 12 knots but we
were still making 7 knots through the water, again thanks to that
current,
)3.00hrs we phoned the UK and asked for
additional 3000 minutes on the " Iridium phone "
04.00hrs, The phone and all systems back on air,,
brilliant,
collected all the emails and sent off the blogs and
outstanding mail.
Basically we spent the rest of the day relaxing and
reading about our next destination, PARADISE ISLANDS,
The wind increased to 14 / 18 knots , so we made
good progress and it was a lovely day to boot.
20.00 Dinner by the skipper consisted of a stuffed
roast chicken with bacon strips , roast spuds,green peas, and creamed potatoes.
yum
Fats and the skipper had a Rum and Coke each,
Then of course there was a major discussion on the
benifits ( or the lack of benifits) of alchol. Cant remember who won
that,
