We are today at 17:35.17N 050:11.7W. After a
previous frap with the spinaker which caused a series of "bullet holes"
across the spinaker the Murdo and I spent the morning repairing it and then we
hoisted and off we went. We racked up our 10th 200 mile + day and we currently
have 665 left to run to Antigua. Our ETA is Friday 4th December. Some aboard are
desperate for it ( the arrival at Antigua!). I dont care I am quite happy and as
we have used no fuel and have all that in reserve we could theoretically go on
and on.
Our curry and Quiz "down the pub night" was a great
success. Murdo turned up with the dark glasses and Panama hat looking like
something out of a Quintin Tarrantino movie and would not have looked out of
place in the sixteies which was probably the last tim,e he was in a pub. Tonight
is St Andrews night and we will be having an all Scottish Banquet with Haggis
and a tad of Malt. Thats all I can say for now.
