we have now been on the water for the 9th day and the routine
is now in place.oh. again we seem to have clocked up some good mileage
which in the early stages of the race is fortunate.. once in the lower latitudes
the winds are more prevalent.. it has seemed up till two three days ago every
mile was hard fought for. information from home is the highlight of our day. for
lucj today i had shepless pie follwed by custard and pineapple peices.
ideal weather for hot food ,. we are maintaining our routine which adds
structure to the day and night. a necessity. our view of the sea appears
barren and devoid of any life which we know is not true,, if only we could
see more of it.. perhaps as our journey proceeds more will become
apparent.. our little sea bird kev flew right infront of my nose the other
night.. not by accident cos his flying skill is far better than to
crash in me... each day and each shift, although the
seas are much the same the thoughts offer a different scene to each
occassion,,sounds bizaar but true... sometimes you are rowing down hill, other
times around the side and other times down... who ever said water finds its
own level.. i wish this would, just for 5 mins... those
ancient marinerers must have been bonkers to think the world was
flat... its always up and down....
today i would like to say hello to katie and james jordan,
holly and louis. Now wave heights today are about 2 Olivers + 1jeremy high...
thanks Luke for your email, our aim is to safely cross first and win second....
mmmmm thats a tough one ....
