Glad to report we're still enjoying
ourselves. Wind good, swell pleasant and we're still on fresh vegetables
for meals. Long may it continue...
the crew has been the similarities between sea life
and the Truman Show. Outside the safety rails, evidence for reality
continuing for the last 48hrs has been less thaj convincing..
one endless empty ocean, the steady movement of sun and stars (easily
fakable), the occasional brave (or maybe lost?) sea bird, and this morning a
one-eyed flying fish landing on deck... all fairly suspicious. maybe
Henry has in fact already landed a job with the BBC and is launching his
career on the reality TV footage of the "Ariel Show" ("Big Boat" or "Big
Ariel" being inappropriate) Hidden camera's in every corner,
millions back at home sniggering at jez smashing his bruised head into the cabin
locker again or greedily tucking into his fourth chocolate bar for the shift,
while Henry's laying down the foundations for his new job. And they say
that the sea turns men to superstition! wonder if the first aid kit's got
any antipsychotics?
