Well Christmas is gone and we’re cracking on to destination Antigua. We’re now over a quarter of the way there!
Christmas was a bit different as we said in our last blog and it wasn’t just the location. Christmas dinner was a bit of a treat too – well a treat when you’re comparison is dehydrated food that is. With a bit of a juggling act, Lin managed to put together an interesting Christmas dinner that most would turn their noses up at. We had tinned turkey, petite pois, carrots, smash potato and gravy, we even had some cranberry sauce. It was a culinary delight to us – unfortunately Rachel’s didn’t stay down long as she was struggling to keep the boat steady in big seas whilst gulping down the food. Boxing Day was a bit quiet on the message front, I guess you guys were all slouched in front of the telly trying to recover from the over indulgence of Christmas Day. We cracked open another bottle of Champagne as we got the news that we’d passed 638 miles marking a quarter of the way there. Today has been quite bleak until late afternoon with the sky covered in cloud. Great for Rachel as one of her Christmas presents was the book ‘The Cloudspotter’s Guide’! Maybe a few too many clouds to try to work out what it all meant, although we could hazard a guess – no water maker again today!!! The waves are pretty good for rowing in though and we’re continuing to make great progress and love hearing how many miles we’ve done. We’ve been getting some great messages, not only from people we know. It would appear we’ve built up a bit of a following from overseas too. Thank you to Kin from Denmark, Kim in San Francisco Bay, Nan Taylor in Texas, Pam Newby in South Africa, Bernice in Vermont, Eileen in South Africa, Emmanuel & Saupy in France and Reynhardt from South Africa. Please keep them coming, they really are the highlight of the day. Love & hugs, Rachel and Lin Position:N 20.12.07.8W 028.56.08.8 |
