06.20 Sun Rise, What a fantastic
sight
10,00hrs ( local time ) Radio Call, We had already
as usual sent in our position by email,
We are still up there with the front runners, all
of whome are giving us time,
12.oohrs Still sailing along merrily, the wind goes
left a little so we put the boat goose winging again.
Nothing much to report and the skipper has no
stories today,
Aileen did a Cottage Pie for dinner, however , the
red hot bowl full of Pie, fell out of the oven ( When a wave hit us
broadside) onto
her foot, The poor girl, whatever about the foot,
But she had spent so much time and effort
into making this.
However, She recovered quickled and managed to save
enough pie to feed the over stuffed crew.
Once She discovered the Wave was our ( S&D )
fault, she was happy out and we really enjoyed that Pie
Alls well that ends well,
Do you know that we discoveredweeds growing half
way up transome, because its under water so much,
