Day 15
Sailing without wind can be frustrating...but not
onboard Falbala! We have spent the night drifting harmlessly through the water,
barely reaching speeds greater than 1kt, and with next to no wind.
Despite this, moral has remained high, our fun & games have
continued and our glasses never seem to be empty!
Yesterday evening it was "Saturday Night at
the Movies" with Castaway on the big screen...WILSON! Complimented nicely with a
yummy pork sirloin and risotto dish, Jamie again proving a god in the
galley.
0730 this morning and it was time for the big
plunge! Skipper Mike EJ decided enough was enough and the engine was coming on,
this sparked a chain of events leading to Ollie starting his formation
diving career. Before long Jamie & Cat joined him in the water at
charted depths of over 4500m...who knows what was lurking beneath?!
With egg rolls being prepared as I write, time is
of the essence. There seems to be a strange thought of mind about
time onboard, with everyone agreeing that St.Lucia is getting dangerously
close now, and we're not sure if we want it to, this long ocean passage
sailing is slowly addictive and I think deep down, we all want St. Lucia to be
alot further away.

(after reading my blog, Jamie's comments were -
"Ahhhh, there's alot of love in that message, ahhh!"
haha)
