The human crew for this trip, is Richard and Alison (well it is their boat), Richard did ask if Joe and myself wanted to go next year instead, as there were 2 Swedish blondes (girls) looking for a passage, and he wanted to swap them for me and Joe, perhaps Richard and Alison could fly out, and we will take the blondes in their place. As you have gathered it's Me and Joe, and we are being joined by Tom (son of Richard and Alison)

The Blue Nose crew, Jungle made and early decision that sailing wasn’t for him (I think his trauma of the last trip got to him), so he has found a nice tree to climb, and seems happy to stay there. It was planned that it would be just Skipper Splodge going, and as Skipper Splodge and I left the house, one look at Mack’s face said it all, he wanted to come, so how could we resist, so in the bag he went. I think Joe will be glad too, that he will have the company of Skipper Splodge and Mack for the trip.
