Half way . . . . and, what's changed? Well there is sea,
some more sea and
then sky. And, I've no idea what the reference is to Colin's pants?!  A small party was held in honour of reaching the halfway point. All are allowed double rations of whisky. Fish curry (voted the meal of the trip) and singing ensued. Ant and Colin lead off with 'the English are Best', followed by various tunes. Ending up with a very messy rendition of 'Yesterday'. Night sky is magnificent. In the absence of light pollution there the sky is alight with the milky way (no kids, not the snack you can eat between meals). Led has sort and spotted some of the major constellations including Orion, Plaedes, Trianglium, Cassiopia, Aries amongst them.. ONe of the highlights is shooting stars. We all long ago ran out of wishes, there are so many. Long, short, bright, dim, low, behoind clouds, they just keep falling out of the sky. Still, it seems there are plenty of stars left, so we don't think we'll run out before we get there. |
