It is midnight and I am on watch. Pitch dark and the only sounds are the rush of water past the hulls, the grunts from the Master Baker's cabin and the sobs from Brenda the Fender who had expected to be lashed to the foredeck with her colleagues but instead has been lashed to he Master Baker's bunk. We may have a sexafender on board.
Food is getting short, the fish aren't biting and we are already on rations. George says he will eat anything apart from brains. I have explained to him that Nick is an orthopaedic surgeon so if we have to eat him that will not be an issue.
We still hope to win the prize for the fastest boat on handicap but is likely that we will be last into St Lucia, the ARC office will have gone home for for Christmas and we I'll miss the prize giving.
I hope this blog is not funny. Nick only agreed to a guest blogger on condition that he was not funnier than him,
