Another day coming to an end,
its been an energetic 24 hours and the
beautiful atlantic weather has been keeping us all busy.
with the main going from first to second to third
reef and back again.
whilst last night no main at all and just
sailing with our storm jib, we have been making good progress.
our anticipation of the low and our tracking east
early on avoided the force 9 cat centre, we managed to escape with a wet and
wind blown experince the activity of vessels is increasing as we
draw closer to the motherland.we would like to take this oppourtunity to request
a good pizza derlivery number in plymouth.
moral is high, even after 24 days at sea, the
enjoyment one can get from watcing a fellow crew mate try and replace a single
cup into the cupboard only to be greeted by a five minute juggling act
still manages to raise a smile.
we are in the closing stages now and ETA stands at
a late evening arrival.
so once more i bid you fairwell
ian and the gertha crew
