Hello again. I trust you all
enjoyed Rich's last blog entry. I for one am still getting over the
hilarity of it. Well its hard not to when you are reminded of it every
watch! Happy days :)
Its a lovely sunny day today and we
are sailing along nicely thanks to the Portuguese trades. We must be
looking good again, as another vessel swooped in for a look. This big
CMA-CGM container vessel altered course to come and say hi. They would of passed
around half a mile away but ended up slowing down about 30 metres off
our starboard side. It was just about enough time for the
officers and deck crew to wave and shout. Then just as bizarrely as they
had turned up, the captain floored it and returned to her original course.
Weird.
 Other than that, it looks like we
will be arriving in Gibraltar in the next 3-4 days, where we will refuel and
then onto Mallorca.
Until then!
James
