Yes we do !!!!! we have the Blue Beyond Blues band
, we refuse to get disheartend that we have to make landfall early and not sail
with the rest of the fleet , so this afternoon all the instruments came out , a
guitar , an accordian , a sax and a mouth organ and we had a jammin session
! great fun and we are only 98 miles frmm the cape verdes.
We had some wildlife land on the boat in the night
, quite a few flying fish , which robbie was able to play airoplanes with , kept
him occupied for a while ! but also curiously , a cuttlefish , where did that
come from ? didn't know they could jump!
On a more serious front the boys checked all their
elaborate ropework which is keeping the mast up and it is doing a grand job .
there was a bit on chafing on one rope which they have replaced , but it is all
looking stable and we should make landfall hopefiully without any mishaps, We
have contacted the marina and the rigger is expecting us ( thanks Jeremy for
your help) and doesn't seem to think that this is anything he can't handle , so
if we can get a quick turnaround we should be fine , but then we are talking
boats and manyana!!!!!!
 our main sax
man Ray on the Blue Beyond Blues Band  Richards first ever loaf of bread , tasted delicious, Robbie has a new toy ! it makes plane sounds and kept him occupied for
hours !!! |
