If this is rock and roll, I dont like it as much as
I used too!!
Force 6 winds behind us with 15 foot seas, surfing
down these at high speed, up to 11 knots in short bursts. Terrible amount of
movement on board; however I am in the middle of baking bread, and now I do this
trick with the computer: maybe a circus acrobat next.
The navigator has also been busy, and gives the
following information:
Position: 21.24N, 23.46W
Days run 134 miles!! (V good)
Note for weather girls: estimate of noon position
on Sunday:26W, same latitude
Received Vicky's news flash about the Welsh boats
encounter with illegal imigrants. This must have been aweful, and Nick Lewis,
the owner, is a lovely man, despite I believe being from the legal trade! With
the current seas, and our position, we won't encounter any more who would be in
any state to be rescued. It is sobering to reflect on our priviledge, just to be
here, and free. Why we chose to be here amongst these big waves is a quite
seperate philosophical matter!!
