Yes we now have about 250 miles to go until we get
to Falmouth. The prayers Regis said to king Neptune obviuosly worked as the wind
came up soon after his prayer session and we have enjoyed 2 days of strong
SW winds.The seas are VERY rolly and the boat often goes from gunwhale to
gunwhale. Not too bad if you're on deck, dreadful if you're trying to
sleep.
The crew are fine and being well fed by Dave B who
has assumed overall catering control(mainly because the rest of us are
useless!!!....come back Carrie all is forgiven!!) We still have 3- 4 full days
sailing to go but it looks as though we will arrive in Southampton Ocean Village
Marina on Saturday afternoon....no guarentees though!! (the wind has fallen
light in the last 1/2 hour - we may be out here for ever!!)
I know many of you are planning to come down to OVM
when we arrive. Susan is co-ordinating the timings(along with King Neptune!!).
Call her on 01962 850630 for the latest arrival time.
