Hi guys and girls.
WE HAD THE MOST EXCITING MORNING THIS
MORNING...............We saw another boat!!! The first one so far for this trip
during the day, they always seemed to come out at night time!
Progress yesturday was very slow and at about 8pm
last night tom decided we werent making any progress and that we should
sleep and rest. So thats what we did. Spooned i think is the _expression_, or
atleast he hogged the bed. Today it is over cast which is a tad anoying as we
dont have much water left and need the sun to power the solar panels that power
our water supply. But im sure it will be ok. I just need a wash as well. There's
only so many days you can wear the same pair of pants and i figured 12 days is
probalby enough!! Only joking, its 7 days a pair unless i get excited and
have an accident!
So, we had a few texts this morning commenting on
my spelling, is it really that bad. The spell check on this computer
is rubbish so all i can say is get used to it. But do keep the texts
coming.
A nice little pattern is imerging on the boat now
as we approach the third week onboard red arrow. Tom eats and cleans, i
mentain the boat, make water, keep everything powered when we can and row. It
simple really. Actually, thats a bit harsh, tom does row as well!!! But some
breaking news yesturday was that whilst board i tried to see how many hobnobs i
could put in my mouth at the same time, 8 in total! Quite impressive i thought.
I couldnt swollow them though so i hope tom doesnt turn the last but one cushion
over any time soon...............
Right, im about to start rowing, watch that
dot fly for the next 3 hours or so (we messed up our shift patteren thismorning
so are doing longer shifts than normal)
Sun burn rating : still 0. doing good but its
cloudy today so i always get it wrong on days like today.
Beared rating: approaching yeti like!
