MB Hello everyone from here in bum f*!k
nowhere in the Atlantic. Bobbing around in no wind. Grave as that may be, there
is graver news. One of the brave Tikkanauts has succumbed to a little known
complaint. Daves beard has grown far bushier and rampant than the
hair on the top of of his head. 'Not difficult..' I hear some of you say.
Laugh ye not, this is serious. Dave is in fact in the advanced stages of cranial
inversion. The top of his head looks as if it should be where his chin is, and
vice versa... When he speaks it looks odd and we can't take him
seriously... 'No change there...' I hear others of you say. But all is not lost,
we have found that if he talks whilst doing a handstand, it all makes sense.
That having been said, he does look quite rugged. He
puts me in mind of Charles Hawtrey in Carry on Cleo...
I think, possibly, we've been at sea long
enough....
TB DF handle bar moustache is going great guns as
mentioned by MB. I have come to the conclusion no matter what way up he is it
all makes sense( not !!!!)Really enjoyed the surreal swim yesterday with 4000m
depth no land around for at least a thousand miles in any direction and no
life guard ! - interesting life experience. Bit concerned at the continued lack
of consistent wind - it is what it is more concerning is that we have run out of
wine and almost beer but do have water! FB still continues to produce amazing
food and for the next week at least the cupboard still offers many culinary
delights. Great to talk to families last night although briefly. Missing them.
Will have to make a decision in the next couple of days of whether to reschedule
fight home ! Pray for wind - heading south to try and get it!
DF As you've already heard,yes my
beardy weirdy is getting quite bushy and itchy....however I have bought along my
clippers so think I might surprise the sea dogs in the morning with a
"Lemmy" style pair of handle bars for them to admire!!!.The mid Atlantic swim
can now be ticked off my bucket list..great fun but quite eerie to think
not alot around us for hundreds of miles.FB has lost a couple of big fish of the
lines today ,lots of "mumma mia's" thata wasa a big one!!!As for the
wind....the day started great with thoughts of before he leaves "maybe a
couple of nights in Barbedos with Mike would be nice" but as already said
the wind has dropped again..
Tonights movie is "The Enforcer". As i write the
old men of the boat are bitching because I'm taking to long to write my
blog....I expect that once the booze runs out on Sunday they will have something
else to moan about.....!!!!
