Hi all. Its nickies birthday today and the midway point for this leg of
our trip. We are now about 1500nm from the nearest bit of dry land.
2700km from a blade of grass. 225000 cans of beer end to end from the
nearest pub. Not surprisingly, there is a lot of water out here.
Thankfully it is staying outside the boat.
And nicki is now officialy an old maid. a spinster even. Dee made her a
great fish shaped birthday cake (A portent of the many cats she will
have later?) A lunchtime G nT is in order.
Last night gave us a bit of a sharp swell fom the south to wake us up.
Only a slight rise in wind speed which is about right for what we can
expect. It didnt affect our daily distances though. yesterday was 163
today was 160nm. thats 6 days of around the same distances. uncanny.
Gps says our average is 6.2kinoters. Thats pretty rrespectable. Sun is
shining. Seas are moderate and the barometer is steady. The stars are in
the heavens and the fish is in the fridge with the beer
. Chat again in a few days.
