Hello All,
Well we are finally getting closer its Hot and
sunny just as it should be, probably not for long though with very high winds
likely to be coming our way. With only 250 miles to go, everybody is up,
apart from Katie. And Skipper has been assigning jobs ready for our onslaught
into the Azores bars.
Dophins have been plentiful but have become
quite annoying, they keep coming in their millions, but despite best efforts at
communication and bribes with the best bread of them all ( MATS) they will not
give us a tow. This resulted in Heidi, Sam and Mat diving in at 4000 meters
deep and giving Piccolo a good old push along, managing a healthy 1.6 knots
Woohoo, Who needs wind.
Today we are under motor again, with little
westerly winds to push us along, making 8 knots with a little bit of
super current helping us along.
Itinerary for the azores,
Monday - Bar and Meat
Tuesday - Bar and Meat
Wednesday - Bar and Meat
thursday - Leave and no more Meat ( sad
faces)
All action packed, even Sam and Mat will be able to
see the Manchester united match, so all is happy, happy.
