Day 7 on the Big Brother Boat

9.15. Darren has been sleeping for the last 12 hours. He is attempting this weeks Big Brother challenge for energy conservation. If he succeeds the team will recieve a luxury shopping budget of EC 50$, which he intends to spend on Dominoes pizza and Ice cream

Flavio has been having trouble sleeping so he decided to trim the sails all night (again). This morning the boatmates awoke (except Darren) to find the house had been tansformed into a sleek surf boat and Roy and Iain have been racing each other to get the best downhill speed.

Last night Flavio cooked the last of the potatoes, and the housemates are now running low on fresh produce. Sonya made porridge, so the diary room will see some visitors later most likely.

James and Roy are finding comfort in the "Sextant" - a strange device that they don't seem to have figured out the use for yet (although not for lack of imagination). Darren has also offered Roy the use of his O-Ring, which is showing some signs of early wear and tear.

Iain is preparing a chess board for the inter-boat challenge (with EH01) who are in radio contact - just - but still lagging behind in this weeks voting. Sonya is sure is sure that she saw a Dolphin (in the dark) last night, although it might have been a wave.

To register your vote for this week's eviction call Global Yacht racing. Who goes? You decide..
