Sitting in a pond 900 miles from nearest land and swimming behind the boat
that is going at 1.5 knots . what a great feeling . had some nice winds
overnight but now have gone into the centre of a hiigh which we will have to
motor out off. A very pleasant day starting with a swim , Alex prepared lunch
while we had a beer (Good Lad) and then a sleep before starting the engine for a
10 hour motor to the winds again. 60ish miles . will hopefully be sailing again
tonight about midnight . I spent the last 6 hours cleaning the chrome and
coating it with a chrome polish which says it will make it easier to clean in
the future ?? will keep you updated on that one. the salt on the boat is so
thick now after days of spray and then sun .
Jo is on dinner roster tonight and look,s as though he is trying to beat
everyone else's past dinners . starting 4 hours before dinner time .
Simon decided to change the cords on the bucket as he dosnt want to end up
overboard for some reason trying to hold onto the existing one which are to
short .
Alex is stuck into dvd’s and i am now trying to get the Beam sat phone
system going . we use the system without at present .holding onto the Arial
while trying to connect to email ect .
well better get back to my sun bathing as it will be leaving us in the next
couple of days . blog in a couple of days
signing off for now
