Hi All
MF It has got a lot warmer
and humid today feeling proper tropical, we got an e mail this morning from
a nearby yacht Beam IV passing a message on from Dave Lucy And Albert on Flying
to say That They wouldnt be due in to Mindelo till wed we lost contact with them
day 1 although i did get a clue were they were after emailing Loz and she
found them on vessel finder day 3 .
Engine is fine after warning came on last night we
sailed all night only three knots but it was quiet and peaceful checked all the
levels this morning all good been a mixture of motor sailing with
twins up all day FG has cooked a curry for this evening had the rest of TB pasta
bake for lunch luvly chubbly and i think Clint Eastwood and his magnum force are
on movie club tonight !!
TB Deciding which punk is going to make
my day today - feeling lucky ! Crew decided to use washing machine today for the
first time. Having found the instructions it took an hour to work out how to
open the door. Not sure if there is a hidden message there? Boat is smelling
like the finest perfume and a bed of roses after MB soaked his shoes in
freshwater all afternoon. Looking forward to Tuna curry tonight and fascinated
to know how many other ways there are to cook tuna!Celestial position only 25
miles out from sat nav today at noon
 MB On watch this morning as the sun
came up. A few clouds back lit bright orange, and then lots of flying fish
appeared. Is that a shoal or a flock? or a shock... Anyway, it was a pinch
yourself moment, or as Jule would say 'clock the moment'. Regarding my shoes. If
you were to visit the caves beneath Stilton, you would learn that it takes
them over two years to achieve that heady aroma. I, on the other hand, have
achieved the same in just five days. I think that says something... Looking
forward to a bit of dry land tomorrow.
DF Day 6 on the big brother boat.Had a
late one last night watching Dirty Harry (20.30 hrs) !! so after my
watch had a little lie in till 09.30 and once up was immediately
handed a delicious bacon and egg sandwich (praise be to Fabbio (forget that Alah
bloke))...Received emails from my girls
today telling all about their week and netball tournaments and being
made captain ....very proud daddy....looking forward to speaking to them in
Mindelo on Saturday.MB and I removed the spray hood today and cleaned the
windows (maybe a new career for us when we get back) after that frantic
activity we needed a rest and spent the rest of the day reading a
book.
FG engine running
well today , yesterday was overheating so we decide to sail over nite
so we will arrive in Mindelo tomorrow afternoon , lots of flying fish today
DF find one on deck dry and smelly ...not as smelly as MB shoes ... kutis
nite on tikka and movie magnum force ... maybe fishing again tomorrro
morning as we running short on fresh fish , only 1kg tuna loin left in the
fridge.. the boys are very big eater and drink very little
!!!!!!!
