Yesterday we moved into another time zone.Some wag aboard said"no risk of jet lag then"?
The ARC organisers have,according to Liz,estimated our eta as 26 th. Dec. I can't imagine Christmas Day sans turkey,sans plumb pudding in fact sans tous! Luckily I remember rationing which should be useful.
Yesterday we managed 90 miles in the 24hrs. which is better but the magic figure is 100.
Currently sailing with cruising Shute alone which enables us to steer a reasonable course.
Fishing.....so far Katika has caught 3 flying fish compared to two by our fishermen although George hooked a "big one" ?Wahho but it got away!
I lent towards Brenda Fender last night and it was lovely to feel her smooth white surface against me. How long has it been?
Must just dash to the oven for the loaf.
Master baker no not masterbat........
