Lunchtime brought Tuna mayo wraps alla Robin and Ninky, the first tinned fish of the trip. Mid afternoons High Tea was served at 1500 hrs and to celebrate going over the centre line on the chart we had Ros's fruit cake again but only one piece each as it's reputed to contain a bottle of Metaxa brandy per slice. We now realise that there is something odd about the boy Ninky as he also doesn't like fruit cake as well as tea.
Other celebrations today was Neil's distance record of last year beaten as we just passed the spot where he transferred onto Superservant 3 last year so new ground from now on.
Tonights evening meal was a first. ALL tinned food , until Robin got his hands on it and added some cabbage that he found in the bottom of the front heads. Well, it is being used as a food store!
As a final note I'd like to point out that Lee has put a new slant on doing his washing. He's decided to just wear it and sit at the spare helm and wait to be dunked again.
