HELLO ALL READERS
This is Ella Trout III reporting further news on
our adventure.

Sorry for not writing a blog yesterday (Saturday), but
I'll write about them both today. Yesterday the wind picked up we averaged
about 6.5 to 7 knots. The weather was bright, the sun was shining, the only
problem was the cold wind so we had to hide under the spray hood. Everyone
except Mummy had their shorts on. We all sat outside eating our lunch, I had to
butter the cotton wool bread, which wasn't an easy job because it tears every
time you spread one dollop of butter. After lunch mummy went back to bed for a
while so I decided to watch a Doctor Who, in that episode the Daleks moved the
earth and the Doctor has to save it.
Later that day Mummy woke and the Doctor Who finished, so
the captain, knowing my great knowledge of sailing sent me up to look
around "nothing nothing nothing" I murmured as I looked around.
Until I looked off the port bow, huge dolphins easily as big as me came
jumping out of the back of a wave and into to the front of another, they were
racing to wards the boat. I quickly shouted "Mummy Poppa dolphins!".
They shot up to see them and there they were, darting round the front of
the boat. The amazing thing was a few minutes later another school
came to play, there was at least 50 dolphins round the boat all at one time!
Slowly they would ride the waves away, they were around us for more than 45
minutes. After the awesomization of the dolphin show, we ate dinner and listened
to the usual bed time story, this time it was Sherlock Holmes solving the
mystery of the Red Headed League. After that I went to bed. Only one thing
that I'm aware of happened that night, I had to go to the toilet. This is
not easy because I sleep in the batcave right at the front of the boat and Mummy
and Poppa sleep on the sofas right in front of me. So the only way past was for
me to swing on the handle bars and slide across the table which I did quite
successfully. When I came out of the toilet I realised Ithat I
hadn't thought of a way to get back to my bed! Luckily
Poppa's alarm went off which woke him up and he show me the light house we
had past not long ago. So I climbed back into bed and went to
sleep.

Today the wind continues to push us at 7 knots our fastest
speed being 9.9 knots. The only thing that has changed is the sun is gone
and I don't thinks its coming back until I get back to Moscow, well least I know
I'm back home, in the UK. The lovely sunshine has traded
itself with this grey, wet, and miserable day. The sea is rougher than
ever, the waves keep picking up Ella Trout's bottom and swinging it around
and then she steers her way back on course and then the cycle starts
again. We are hoping that we will arrive some time tomorrow
morning.
This is Ella Trout III over
and out
PS Thank you Ken for approving my blog writing
awesomeness!!!
The waves are so strong, not only are they continuously
pushing us off course but one just came right over the cabin and down the
other side!!
