Going well with poled out genoa and 25/30kts of westerly wind. 177 miles in
24hrs to noon.
We have got 66 miles to go for the lizard waypoint and then 12/14 to the
finish.
If this holds we should arrive sometime tonight!!!!
Too windy for the kite - nearly put it up but decided not to and 30mins
later squall line came through with gust at 40kts, heavy rain and Starry had
one
surf of 11.6kts down a wave!!!
Anyway we have just picked up Falmouth Coastguard on the VHF so must be
somewhere near the right place!!
BJ here.I've been quiet for a day or two trying to track down an
unidentified and worringly nasty smell.Finally success! I mentioned we were
getting high as in cheese and the source turned out to be anything to do
with Rob's feet--socks shoes boots and of course the things themselves.no
doubt there are two other similar specimens on this double handed
craft.we've clearly been through all the British cheeses,long ago
outstripping stilton and other blues and have headed to France.Robert is of
course ro BERT and i'm his crew J CAMEM ! A shower would be good--mankind
will thank us for it
Mr roBERT has been magnificent.A fantastic achievement,brilliantly planned
and executed.What a privilege I've had , being offered a ringside seat by
the great man.What a favour that sister of mine did me all those years ago
I wonder who our readers are ? maybe there's just one of you out there.If so
who could it be? would have to be a Mum wouldn't it so its Rob's Mum.Hi
Rob's Mum love and best wishes to you and Les
been humming a new Atlantic Disc every day.Two days ago was Eleanor Rigby
because my beautiful Eleanor,the middle of three beautiful daughters looks
as though she's got a first at Bristol Uni--news just out on day 4 of our
trip.All the lonely people where do they all come from hum hum
then it was i'm digging a hole where the rain gets in to stop my mind from
wondering (when will we get home)pom pom pom
Managed to avoid Help--was worried about needing somebody! Now of course....
it's been a hard day's night
and so it has
goodbye,very best wishes and love to our reader (s) from Blogger John
