Dear Friends
"22:20.98N
24:03.96W"
Well, we haven't made too much
progress since the last blog - very light winds as forecast but should pick up
again later today and be quite fun by the weekend. We have seen several yachts
heading further south, but we reckon we're OK on 22 deg N.
We thought you might like to know
about Catering Arrangements.
George is of course head chef and is
keeping us amused with a varied menu. Typically breakfast is DIY rolls and
preserves with some juice and tea or fresh coffee, though occasionally we'll
have scrambled egg on toast all round. There is a supply of muesli and similar
stuff, but it doesn't seem too popular.
Lunch is normally cold ham and
chorizo (Spain being the last country of call) with a selection of cheeses and
maybe a Spanish omelette if G decides.
Dinner starts early at 1800 with
canapés and the daily drinks ration in the cockpit, followed by the main meal
shortly after. We try to make best use of the available daylight and finish our
evening meal before the light fades. This also makes for an enjoyable sociable
time while we eat together and watch the sunset.
Yesterday we enjoyed George's
homemade chilli with rice and this evening we are promised George's Thai noodle
soup with yesterday's rainbow wrasse. He is also working on some sort of
pudding, apparently a cross between tiramisu and banoffee pie - should be
interesting!
Best Wishes
George, Michael and the
crew
