Hmm, so we sewed and fixed the sail, and of course
it ripped again, so we re-sewed another fun afternoon... but now our handywork
seems to be holding out..
We have finally got a good bit of wind and we are
currently sailing at 8knts to St Lucia..
The sun is out Hannah and I got our burn on
yesterday and I am now a pretty shade of pink, Hannah just looks tanned!! So
we're on week 8 now....its been 7 full weeks since i joined this boat...
crazy, no wonder im so sick of it!!! but the end is in sight and we can forget
the whole nightmare delivery... although we're still 1200 miles away soI'd
better not tempt fate or we'll be stuck out here til new
year...
Guti caught a nice looking Spanish Mackeral
yesterday, which will no doubt be lovely... its different from
tuna becasue its a white fish so its quuite exciting the last time I
had it was on a delivery around Australia...
Not much else to report except we've Still not seen
any dolphins since Madeira although Hannah and I saw a very distinct cloud in
the shape of a dolphin yesterday so i took that as a sign they are
coming!!!
Lots of flying fish though, one on the trampoline
this morning!!
Only a few more days and we'll start scrubbing
down this bad boy and making her ready to be handed back to her lucky
owner... woop..
Well better get back out in the sunshine.. its
soooo lovely being in shorts and bikini in December...
