My sincerest thanks to the kind crew of the yacht
CARMELLA which met earlier today.  I had just set my para-drogue aft, to keep the boat
trim in the waves, when I noticed a sail to the south. I hailed her on the VHF
and chatted for a couple of minutes. They were heading for Boston and it turns
out the skipper is from Scotland. They came by the boat to take a look and the
skipper's girlfriend very quickly put together a small plastic box of goodies. I
managed to retrieve it from the sea and it contained some teabags, a piece of
shortbread (eating it as I write), chocolate, a some apples, blueberries and the
juiciest couple of strawberries I've ever seen (gone!).
If anyone knows who they are then please tell them
that they made an exhausted, sunburnt, blistered, smelly Scotsman very
happy!
