Conversions weill be held after 11am

Checking stores of diesel, food water and
underpants today. All seems OK.
Spotted a pod of whales blowing off the starboard
bow this morning, many flying fish today also.
We have mislaid the clothes-peg.
Eating well. Flanno's in the lab concocting a
desert for tonight as its Sunday. Above deck we await a minor implosion.
Surprisingly little tuna being consumed. Our menus have included recently: Duck
Cassoulet, Bruschetta, Chilli Beef and Crab and Clam Risotto.
We are also now baking our own bread daily and
making our own meusli. Still have some pineapples, apples, grapefruits, tomatoes
and oranges but the melons are gone. We miss the melons.
Flannos been doing his sit ups on the bow again
this morning, heeling the boat with effort.
Cerys is nicely tuned and generating an excess of
power as we tow our water generator. We have good southerlies now and hope to
hold onto them for the next few days.
So we have passed the one week mark and are still
talking both to one another and to ourselves, although the latter seems to be
taking a firm grip. During the day we often get as far away from eachother as
possible, spread to or rotating corners. Gathering for lunch and then for a pre
dinner chat often around topics such as Steve Silverment and 4711 ".......the
coolness that feels like champaign on your skin (oh)". We are unsure about that
"oh" which has caused a slight rift among the crew. We will check that online at
Azores.
Joey has scrubbed the deck for excercise and, I,
the cabin floor for entertainment.
Amazing to be someplace on earth where there have
only been the four of us, some flying fish and a couple of storm petrels in a
week. I did a 24 mile radar scan before retiring last night to see oif there was
anything else out there. Happy to see that we are all alone.
