Distance to home:  1110 miles

 

Distance run today:  48 miles  

 

Course 190

 

Short Blog as the waves remain very large and are affecting the iridium connection (we need to prioritise the weather GRIB when we connect).

 

We are frustrated at lack of progress but all’s fine.  The wind has dropped and this will continue overnight but we cannot yet make progress into both a strong easterly wind and rough sea.  Patience required and it’s tough.

 

Inbound texts are coming through (Thanks Tom, we got the dozen or so from you) so please keep sending them and if anyone wants to look at the seaweed then amateur forecasts are welcome – we have made enough of our own to know that there is plenty of sport in this. 

 

No personal mails today for the same reason as the short blog.

Alex  well done on your end of year results xxxx

 

Tom – Thanks for essay : ) 50 boys wow all sounds pretty daunting! Would love to be there to listen to your start of year speech to the house! Glad to hear so many people at school are still interested in the trip! Re. Phone shop, I’m fairly certain that there is only one Vodafone store in Colchester, I parked in the multi storey on the far side by wilkinsons walked out across the road and up a long cobbled road, goes past a little café on the left and a church on the right I think, then follow it round to the left and Vodafone was a short way up there on the left, if you look at the store from outside the shop next door to the left sells phone cases and covers for ipads etc, in there is where I went. Hope that helps : ) Thanks for the quiz question but unfortunately we didn’t receive all the texts so I just got the end of the question ‘to achieve exactly the number you want?’ sorry….missing you all loads look forward to a beer when I’m back! xxxx

 

Bye for now
