As you can see, the sailing right now is fantastic. We hit 17 knots today, but have frequently been in the teens!
At 4.27 UTC today disaster struck. An abnormally large wave hit us from underneath the bridgedeck, blowing the top off the rubbish shoot (wet waste like vegetable stuff) high into the air. Unfortunately the gin bottle was right next to the rubbish scoop, and of course it chose that precise moment to wobble and to fall down the chute - gone to Davy Jones. Only 3 more bottles to go!
Last night i cooked - and despite my best intentions didn't manage to poison Matt! It was a kind of chicken casserole - but it worked!

Captains Corner:
What can I say? With Julian's fantastic cooking, I've actually had to resort to exercise in an attempt to exorcise my gut... It's actually gotten to the point where it's out of hand, and I'm willing to admit it... The problem is really just my love of life - and food! Ah well, I may as well exercise some of the time, as I can't be spending all my waking hours reading and watching movies ;-)
