Day 11 Atlantic Crossing,
Position 13'N 44'W, Saturday 17th December 2005
So we are hurtling along at
7 knots in a 20 knot breeze, and it sounds as though we are living in a washing
machine. I got seasick all over again yesterday.....The boat is
corkscrewing around like mad over a lumpy sea. The girls seem to be
handling it well, not too many 'tummy aches'. We are meant to
have our half way party today, but it feels hard to celebrate as objects
hurtle over your head and join the jumble on the floor, and you feel a bit
green. At least you don't get as hot in this breeze. All our
friends have gone off the radio net, because they have all arrived.........too
busy partying and washing clothes I suspect. Ah well, I guess we'll
get there one of these weeks.
Flying fish: did not manage
to penetrate cabins last night, three cheers, just a few unfortunate casualties
in the gunnels.
Lunch: fajitas and tinned
chicken Supper: ? Lasagne and orange
jelly.
