Day 9 - Postcards From
Pi-Squared
We are progressing well and making good speed
towards St Lucia. Today we are presenting postcards from Pi. More details on the
race tomorrow.
To Mum, Dad, Annie, Family and Friends
Hello from somewhere in the Atlantic! I made it!
Having a fantastic time. Quite surreal really and so much more than I expected.
(S.J., Hey Girl, I owe you big time! Will buy you dinner in Sydney next year!).
9 days gone, 6 to St. Lucia. Strange that even without alcohol I still awake
with unexplained bruises! Love you all, hope you are enjoying the blog, look
forward to catching up soon. Peace out. Lynn

Family and Friends
Having a brilliant time. Enjoying the sunshine and
the storms, calm seas and big swells, sunrises and sunsets.......
Working hard but finding plenty of time to relax
with a great crew. Lots of fun being had by all. Hope you are all well. Missing you lots. Big kisses and lots of love, Sophie xx
Love to Mum, Dad and Janine
Hope you are all well as are we. We have skirted
around a 600 mile wide area of calms (which explains our course south) and are
now heading west towards the Windward Isles. Currently writing this in light
swell and lots of sunshine (water temperature 27 degrees!). Have you changed you
flights? SC x

Storms, sunshine (35 degree heat). Scary at times.
Certainly different. Speak to you about the 15th December.

Oh my god, are we there yet??? There's a whole lot
of water out there and without a decent crew one could easily go mad - where's
that white coat? Love to all, Fin
Day turns to night and in to day again - watch
schedules come and go - slowly we are ticking off the miles to go for St.
Lucia. Life on board has its own rhythm. Some days are spent being busy on deck
or below - but always filled with watching water, clouds and stars passing us
by. We will be in St. Lucia in a weeks time - looking forward to
the Rum Punch. Love to everyone, Penny
The Beamish's and all.
Hope this finds u all well, here I am bashing my way through the
Atlantic (about 35 C at day and 20C and night, hope ur enjoying ur storms:P) and
enjoying every moment of it. The crew is from such a diverse background and are
great fun, Starting to see the world through T-Total eyes and my god its a
strange place. Heading towards St. Luica and should be there in the next week or
so, but wots the hurry. Oh i figured out what i was goin to do mid Atlantic,
"tropical fesh water rain shower" ummm fresh water. Right speak to you when we
land, i got to get back to my sunbathing. Oh p.s. I've managed not to read a
book yet--Jonny--
Maddie, Emily, Mum & Dad
Hope all is well back in sunny Cornwall. Am still on a high from my first
tropical rain shower yesterday in a week. weather varies day by day, making good
progress speak to you later next week, got to go just started raining... shower
time. Jake
Dear Friends,
from our course you can see that we took a much
more southern route than the mainfield, because we hope to find better winds
down there. If it pays off we will see in the next couple of days, if not we are
f....d. Wish us luck!
Liebe Freunde,
die ganze Sache dauert etwas laenger und ist auch
viel anstrengender als urspruenglich gedacht. Es macht aber sehr viel Spass und
man lernt eine Menge . . .
Wir werden vorraussichtlich um den 12. Dezember in
St. Lucia sein und da freue ich mich erstmal ueber die kleinen Dinge wie eine
Toilette, Dusche oder was zu essen was nicht aus einer Aluminium Tuete
kommt.
Viele Liebe Greuesse,
Michael
PS
Kann jemand diese Nachricht an meine Mutter
weiterleiten, ich glaube die hat noch immer kein Internet.

hast.
Ich hoffe dir geht es gut. Alles Liebe,
Michael
