406 N Miles to Lisbon
Full moon would cut the eyes o' you tonight. We
have a yacht at five miles astern. We have been motoring now for 75 hours non
stop. Just no wind. Passing thousands of unidentified life forms in the water
which we have christened Pineapple Fish...Plants. No idea what they are, maybe
we are the first to discover them.
Flanno is terribly busy on some secret project that
he wont let me see. He seems to have a colouring book and is busy filling in
with markers. Maybe he is just embarassed. He has come in very handy though with
regard to predicting weather. It appears his leg is much more sensitive to
change than our ships barometer. Today he predicts - Fair.
Someones armpits woke them up on time for their
shift this morning. We wont say who - but this could be a mini shower
day.
Underway by the light of the moon
Whistling a merry old tune
the nights kind of creepy
we are all very sleepy
And hoping for landfall quite soon
Flannos colouring in his black book
He hides it and wont let me look
I'll nick it tonight
to read at first light
He won't even know it got took
Beards are growing quite well indeed
Looks like Tom, and then me in the
lead
Flannos gingery red
Joes is black as I said
They catch food for a middle night
feed
