20 June : Crew Departure

Yacht Ariel

Its a bright sunny morning in Horta and the crew is
sad to be leaving the good times on Ariel for his studies. We've had a
great passage, plenty of excitement with those depressions, some pleasant
downwind sailing with a sprinkling of the much wetter upwind to remind us to
appreciate it!
I have a few thank you's : Firstly
to the Adams family on mass for all
contributions to this - in particular Myf for the chocolate supply
(the kilos of dariy milk took the punch out of any blow!) and Ian for running
off and purchasing two new waterproof cushions minuters before departure which
increased comfort massively. To Foshy (from the outbound leg) for
advice and waterproof lending. To my own parents for their usual
organisation extraordinaire, and for worrying far too much about me. And
lastly to H - who dealt with having said smelly stowaway on his pride and joy
for a few weeks with great tolerance and good humour.
Yesterday we left our mark on Pontoon

Lots of love Jez x
