We are over the start line and pointing at where he hope the Azores are located. My eyes are still watering from paying for 600 litres of prime Bermudan diesel.....gold is cheaper. The food god Houlahan mentioned a healthy supper before we left and the firemen ran ashore at the fuel dock where I was spilling the remains of my worldly wealth and came back with what looked liked. KFC and pre Oliver school meal special. A full account tomorrow as its been a long day and in the words of Samuel Pepys, I'm going to bed now. I paraphrase.
