Bellone is in the grove! During the last forty eight
hours, we have covered 170 miles on both twenty four hour periods, and so if
this continues we should be at Rodney Bay a week on Tuesday. Columba continues
to improve although we realise that she will not be 100% until we get there.
That said, she never misses a mealtime.
We had a glass of fizz with last night's meal to
celebrate crossing the line and we gave a little bit to Neptune, as is the
tradition.
On a sadder note, we have to report that our # one
pressure cooker has finally stopped hissing and spitting. After many years of
loyal and sterling service, we have to acknowledge that is will hiss and spit no
more. I suggested putting it in the dark recesses of our locker space "just in
case" we need it. Throw it away, was the reply. But I will dispose of it
responsibly, so that it can be recycled and who knows, it's reincarnation will
sail the oceans once more.
