Firstly, we would like to thank all four of our
readers for their staunch and unwavering support over the
past few weeks. Your feedback really keeps the lights on here at
the Daily Knightime.
We've had a helluva day on the open seas - solid 16
knot winds out of the South and but a few clouds in the sky. We crossed the
45 degree west longitude line early this morning and have thus set our
clocks forward one hour to BST -3. Martin and Beer poled out the
genoa begining around sunrise (picture attached) and we continue
on our East Southeasterly course. We expect to turn somewhat north before
reaching Western Sahara - God willing.
Despite our considerable progress, the boat has
been rocking quite a bit down below. In fact, Mogul Mike has had some
trouble sleeping and has resorted to removing the lee cloth divider in his
cabin in order to lay horizontally across his berth. Sadly, most of
the hair was rubbed off the top of his head as a result.
All in all, the crew's disposition remains cheery
and the food has held out better than we could have imagined. The Hoff
continues to add new treats each evening to the deck snack box - and thus there
has been only a few passing mutinous comments. The Hoff is a fair and just
skipper who motivates with the carrot rather than the stick.
Til next time,
The
Knightriders
