Hi Everybody,
Position 32 33n 37 45w COG 56 SOG
5.6 Wind NE 17kts. Still sailing nicely. Had good quite night and made lots of
ground yesterday. HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Adam. He has had his birthday in some
unusual places but this must be the best.
Hey guys Thank you all very much for my
birthday messages and pressies :) Good day yesterday, covered some
good miles with perfect sailing conditions, should be able to make our longest
day hopefully. Saw some wildlife at last, some small dolphins and thanks to russ
the whale whisperer we saw a small minky whale. Now all we have to do is
catch some fish! Ive been informed that the Azores are good for marlin
fishing so its A game time to catch some big fish :P
see you all soon Adam x
everybody knows that being at sea for long periods
of time does strange things to your mind which got me thinking
(very danger russ) i had never done any sailing before ian invited me on his
yacht as crew now ive sailed round a good bit of the globe so
thought i wonder what ians next challenge might be then thought oh no i
hope none of them ex global round the world challenger
space shuttle tings come
through the auction i don't mind being crew on it but could be a
nightmare to do the teak decking foxy head cook and bilge

Hi Pam and all Moving along nicely and wind
has continued to be helpful. Were now heading into wind but is still
comfy. About 1/3/ along the rhum line to Porto now. Expecting
heavier weather in next few days, after a period of lighter winds - no sign of
change yet. All well on board. Log not working and were trying to
decide if making a 2in hole in the hull in mid Atlantic to fix it is a good
idea. The Boss will decide shortly. Adams bthday cake this
evening? Good news about David's flat, sorry I cant be there to help. Is
Sian going with you or looking after Saff? Bye for now Dick
It`s me again. Good run yesterday as above.We`re
all getting a bit demob happy at the thought of land only 700 miles away! Got
your latest txts which I think come thru quite quickly. Can`t always reply
to them with the urgency they deserve. Glad to hear GB has seen HRH - what
chance of getting rid of him? Saw some whales yesterday - first wild life of the
trip apart from a solitary gannet, altho we did give a tiny sparrow like
bird a lift for a few hours before he flew off. Only seen three other ships at a
distance; its a bit like being in outer space. Food quality diminished yesterday
when I tried my hand at spaghetti carbonara with makeshift ingredients. They
were all quite polite about it. Hope all OK. Regards as ever to Robert and the
rest of the Heath. Mike x.
