Well it seems the weather has finally broke as the
swells are down to 8-10ft and wind has dropped to below 20 knots for the first
time since start day, we are now expecting the row boats to make some westing
which would be nice as five days of running an upwind downwind course becomes as
tedious as watching a duck shit in your breakfast. for supper tonight we ate the
last of our fresh food (steak and chips with garlic bread) so tommorrow it is
onto the freeze dried which is about as edible as eating your own hair but you
get used to it. Morale is as high as to be expected on a boat crewed by three
manic depresive alcohloics with no beer but on a lighter note we found a jar of
curry sauce to spice up meal times so are looking forward to gourmet lunch in a
bag tommorrow. We have spent some time fishing over the last few days but had no
luck whatsoever but are trying not to take it too personally as the fish are
probably just busy.
So for now you can all consider yourselves highly
privalidged to be sat on comfy arm chairs reading this random blog ....you could
be stuck on here with us, we do pitty any rowers that feel the need to retire
and join the good ship "Desi"
Forza
