Well our crew have arrived and it is lovely to have
them here , Blue Beyond is fully crewed up now with Richard Ray and Robbieand
the boat is now much more lively ! We are still having problems the washboard
got stuck in our main hatchway and ray was trapped inside and we couldn't get in
, so they did a great job of mending it but then dropped one of the
fabulous new spanners that Ray had bought as a present to the boat down inside ,
so the had a look in a remote part of one of the biges to see if it was there
but founf our main water pump leaking very badly , we thought we were usuing a
lot of water , good job they found this else we would have lost most of
our water on the trip and filled the boat up inside as well , not a good
combination on an ocean passage . We are all a bit tired now with all the
parties , we went to an arc party hosted by raymarine last night and then on to
a boat called "upchuck" yes really! and then back to our where Richard did a
curry supper for ten of us , lovely .
![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() we had a great night , everyone in the ARC made a
real effort to dress up .more parties tomorrow!
