Position Tuesday 28th Nov 12.00 noon (ships time) 16:11.4N 31:05.2W

 

 

This morning the sun rose to reveal a couple of flying fish had landed on Moose’s deck overnight, and then later one appeared in Dickie’s book

 

 

now did that really land there ?

 

 

Then while the captain contemplated the enormity of the ocean

 

 

Caroline was tanning her legs and reading her kindle

 

 

Then after a fabulous lunch including a very tasty ham given to us by Christian and Natalie, the crew were set to work again.....

 

some polished the ships bell

 

 

and soon had it shining like new

 

 

some cleaned the cutlery and cooking utensils

 

 

while others used the ship’s amply stocked splicing kit

 

 

to whip the ends of all the mooring lines

 

 

Once the work was done it was time for a little Yoga on the bow and a chance to fly the drone

 

 

but the highlight of the day had to be the discussion on which was best, the Pie or the Pasty

 

 

or was it that we sailed with the gennaker all day at an average speed of 8.2 knots hitting a max of 12.4

 

 

Or Dickie’s late entry in to the beard growing contest
