skipper's corner
Some says that a horse could “smell” the barn
and therefore trot faster as he is approaching home. Well noeluna must have
some horse blood has she has decisively speed up her pace in the last 48 h.. Yesterday we were given the opportunity to see your latest
comments on the blog. We are very proud to have such a diverse readership from
a geographical point of view (go Li Ping!) . In typical French fashion
some of our “viewers” are making comments which are longer than the
original text itself… i.e. the debate/the argument is stronger than
the original stance..Well I am sure that Beaumarchais will appreciate that but it
puts undue pressure to some of our crew member which name starts with a D. If
you guys want to start a “salon litteraire” I am all for that but
outside night watch/cooking/cleaning/maneuvering and chart plotting time... We were given a glimpse at some “adjusted time
estimate” for all the multihull in the fleet knowing that each of us has
a different rating. Well, once this is official , some will soon realize that
our performance is not spectacular but still very decent. But I don’t want
to say more as I got no idea how those adjusted time are compiled and so much
can still change in the next 48 h. Tonight is “home cooking night”. In true Singaporean
fashion I have load of “AYAM brand” cans on board. And some of you
will remember that Philippe was a very big shot for the AYAM brand company back
in the 80 and 90’s all over Asia. And yes, to the big surprise of our Asian
readers…AYAM is a French business, established in Asia for almost 150
years. Well all this to say that “Curry Tuna”-lah and ‘Laksa
Lemak Tuna” –lah will be on our table tonight. All of you are
welcome to join. Should happen around 14 20N and 58 1 W at around 2300 UTC.
If you come you cant miss us… still not many boats around. And BYOC
(Bring Your Own Chopsticks). So long Matthieu |
