Day 4 - 29th November 2006 by Clare
What an exciting day!
Started with a bit of fishing. We had three catches, 1st - got away 2nd -
got away with bait and 3rd - Was a bird!!!! (who was fine and flew away) So
fishing rods were put away.
Today was shower day. Everyone managed to get one apart from Duncan and I,
as the generator and therefore water maker stopped working. This is now
fixed so hopefully tomorrow we can smell of medicated vosine shampoo too.
I think the madness has already started. I woke up this morning to the usual
creaking and moaning from the cabin, but also what sounded like a man
repeatedly saying erm, erm and dogs barking! In addition to this an old
favourite is back, The ghost of Kenneth Williams, who was Oooohing with us
all the way across Biscay has returned with vengeance.
Anyway we are finally getting some sense that we are getting closer. Even
today has been very slow, arranging about 3-5kts due to no wind, we have
managed to cross the tropic of Cancer.
