Well I guess its time I wrote another blog its not
going to be the size of a short novel like Uncle Iain writes but I will
try...
Its so true Zara Uncle Iain spends hours writing
his blogs you can imagine how long those things take when he only uses the one
finger to type them.......
Its so nice when we turn on this little computer
and read all the emails we have received its something we look forward to each
day. Mum you finally emailed I see
you have come to grips with the whole computer thing, that would have been so
nice to see dolphins riding the waves with all the surfers I have decided I want
a pet dolphin we can keep it in our pool we haven't had any visits from them in
ages, yeah I know how rude. Duncan cant wait to visit you at your new place where is it that you live
now I know its in north Sydney that's such a nice area to be in, I
agree completely you should go change the Noddy Sofa for a really comfy one cos
I think I will be spending a lot of time on it since you live so close
to the beach and the pub!
Yesterday we spent the whole day in
the sunshine it was brilliant we are all looking like lobsters but we have to
make the most of it because unfortunately it was one of the few days of sun we
have had on our little voyage. I have been trying to read
this book on Ancient Egypt I thought I would have been blown away by their
ancient civilization but have come to realize that they pretty much achieved
nothing except built these massive monuments not just for their kings but the
wealthy and never really conquered any of the other great powers. I hope
I'm a little more impressed by the end of this book because I bought a ticket to
go there in a few weeks!!!!!!
Back to our little voyage, we are getting so close
to the canaries its on the same map that we are on now I reckon we have another
5 days left, its funny we have been moving at top speeds (6-7 Kt) roughly
10kph for the last 24 hours as we have had
the cruising chute up its funny how this one sail has more punch than if we have
all 4 of the other sails up, we should have the main sail up to and goosewing it
all the way to the canaries but somebody no names mentioned left the
spinnaker pole at home!!!!
We had the most amazing sunset last night they are
something special out here and I even saw it flash green which Auntie Gaynor
reckons it is something that is a rare thing to see I don't get how they
didn't see it as we were all staring at it entranced by its beauty. I'm Loving
every moment out here yet I cant wait to have some fresh clothes a nice long hot
shower and a cold Spanish beer in the sun or even on the beach yeah
that would hit the spot.
Well that's enough from me
All the best from the crew on Lady
Corinne
Over and Out
P.S. Check out the hat Auntie Gaynor made with a
book and a tea towel!!!
