Day 6 – A Momentous
Occasion
 Saturday the 14th of December
– Afternoon: The afternoon fell into a lovely rhythm. Bear took his rest with a silly grin on his face. The backgammon needed little propping to level and all was
wonderful after my five two win, let’s get my buffer back. Huh. Time to read up on Opua
Marina.
Sunday the 15th
of December 2013: I was just cleaning my teeth, ready to go on duty at
two, when the skipper called for me to hurry out. I only JUST about had time to
turn the camera on and shoot, more warning for our next milestone Sir, if you
please. We left Sutton Harbour, Plymouth on Friday the 6th of June 2008 at ten
o’clock, (only for the brief twenty four miles to our beloved Fowey) at 50:22
north and 04:07 west, so the second we went left of 175:53
east, we had completed half of our world circumnavigation on Sunday the
15th of December 2013 at four minutes past two. The next click of the camera
recorded 175:52.998 east, YeeeeeeeeHaaaaaaaaaa,
Marvelous, Hazzar, wow, a wonderful achievement, very
happy. A choice of rose wine and fizz were in the fridge, ready to
mark the occasion, that at the speed I had last calculated the event – to be
around midday, oh well, the pattern we have fell into is we slow during the
afternoon and by evening speed up.
A kiss to me, a kiss to
Beez Neez and without a pause, off went the skipper to bed.......... Well, with
that flurry of excitement, lasting all of five minutes and no more Patrick
O’Brian to listen to, what was next. I put the Stereophonics, Have a Nice Day
on, and flipped through my menu. Alan Alda reading his autobiography, the
wonderfully titled – Never Have Your Dog Stuffed, was just the ticket.
Distance covered in the last twenty four hours = 133.1 bring our total for journey so far to 916.6 nautical miles. All very happy aboard the now bristling with pride – Beez Neez. We could not wish for lovelier conditions and feel very blessed indeed. A massive thank you to family and friends who continue to support this wild and whacky dream of ours. Thank You All xx xx.
The sea is so flat now that the only white comes from the girl herself.

SIDE OF THE WORLD
