News from the good ship Fenella remains
positive with many incidents of good humour. To date Tim and Alan have been
unsucessful with the fishing but we have decided on a new ploy. Filet steak has
been taken out of the freezer in order to lull the fish into a false sense of
security. Tim also thinks putting the lines in the water may help but John of
Southern Ocean fame having sailed on BG Spirit our twitching racing man
believes the lines will create to much drag. Squady Hutch our Host, Owner,
Skipper and Task Master claims to be keen to make the trip as comfy as possible.
This is questionable as the crews supply of super soft dongo paper has run out
and we are now down to Broco/Izal type rolls of thin Spainish stuff which Alan
bought believing he had found a bargin. You can tell who does the shopping in
his household !!! The Skipper on the other hand has a good supply of luxary
super soft in his quaters but its blue and traces can be seen around the forward
guard rails.
Yesterday was about good healthy eating
due to the over ripe condition of much of our veg and fruit. Tim threw
together a magnificent fresh fruit salad for breakfastand for Lunch Alan came up
with a tasty salad with Ibericam ham. The evening meal was stir fry veg with
chorizo sausage. Bxxxxy great but we are looking forward to red meat
tonight.
One small gripe centers around Fenellas handicap.
The Skipper is fretting about this point as he believes he has been stuffed.
Does this have anything to do with the case of rum he has on who gets there
first Akarana or Fenella. We think not.
And for anyone that's interested, it's been blowing
15-25 from the noth east and we are lookinhg at another 185+mile day.
