It is the first time we have spent such a long time with ex-militaries and we have to say they are an enjoyable company. Good fun onboard!

We are slowly getting to know the boat. Especially when it comes to cooking and eating. We haven’t dared to try marmite on toast yet. And tinned meat is a very strange concept for us. Those Brits can be weird sometimes. Will we survive the Atlantic crossing?

We are trying our best to blend in and keep up with the mandatory 12 daily cups of tea. However to be honest we don’t pour milk in it (yet). That might be different four weeks from now.

Overall we are having a great time and we are looking forward to the crossing !
