what three words - wiggly.clone.bulked
We are here. 1,650 miles, 349 hours. We made it arriving
at 2am this morning. It would have been nice to arrive in the day but it was
fine. We had a celebratory beer, and a celebratory dark and stormy, and then
went to bed. Today it is hot. Really hot. For those in the UK sorry but it's
almost a little too hot )
What a journey. I am almost too hot and too tired to really get into it now
but it has been an incredible experience. We have learned so much, experienced
so much, seen things that most people don't get to see, or a perspective that
most people don't get to perceive. Seeing a glowing tail of bioluminescence as
you sail through the pitch darkness hundred of miles from any light polution,
the milky way above your head.....words are inadequate. And the crazy thing is
this is just the start. We have a 2,700 mile leg ahead of us across the Atlantic
in just 84 days time!!!!
Right now it's about getting the things we need to get sorted, broken
things fixed, and buying additional things we need to take with us to ensure we
are covered for any eventuality.
Will and Sam will be leaving tomorrow, Andy prob on Tuesday and Glenn
Wednesday leaving me to finish off the final bits. That's it from this blog
until November.
