Hi there and thank you to everyone who has sent
messages.We have spent the last few days slowing to the pace of 'Starfire',which
means sailing in huge seas ,with 25-30 knts of wind ,under a working jib which
is pretty uncomfortable.To those of you old enough to remember 'Jim'll Fix
It',there was a time when he arranged for a group of cubs to eat their packed
lunch whilst riding the big dipper.Well thats how it is on our boat,trying
to eat ,sleep and cook.
To anyone who maybe an incy bit envious I have paid
for any enjoyment past and future!
Apart from that it's not too bad.
Starfire have opened a sweepstake on when we may
arrive.I've gone for 1525hr 25mins and 20 secs on Monday.I hope it doesn't take
too much longer as we are running out of supplies.Though should give me enough
time to finish the socks.
Everyone on board is in pretty good spirits and all
looking slightly slimmer,though the heat doesn't seem to have supressed Ray and
David's appetite too much.
Have had some pretty weird dreams,involving
swooping over the sea,Gill B had a very nice haircut and Mr Cleverley was
wearing a very smart jacket and tie,Nigella lawson also featured,analyse
that!
Keep sending the messages they are much
appreciated.
Take care RADA
