SO LONG AND THANKS FOR ALL THE FISH....................
 
Well its been yet again a long stop for us, due to problem wit the gen set, but we finaly broke free from Rodrigues Island, it has to be said it was one of the best places we have been on this trip, so many freinds, so many memories, i think everyone had a bit of a tear in thier eye as everyone lined the quay to say fair well, including the larkin's who's 14 yr old son has joined us for the trip leaving his parents behind. But jack having spent most his life so far at sea will be a good addition to the crew.
 
Weather is ok at the moment, we will have a long beat for the first week, trying to get south as quick as possible. Anyway now that we have started our 3rd ocean crossing of the voyage we shall get back into a regular blog mode once again, expect to see lots of comments from the new crew, who found it all exciting yesterday leaving port...... mmwwaaahaha... little do they know!!!
