First Position

25 48 N 017 33 W

They had an uncomfortable start with the seas being a bit sloppy and the wind being the wrong direction at times, but it has moved around for them and they are now doing between 3.5 and 5.5 knots. The good news is that Adam hasn't been seasick which looks promising for the passage! All going well just hoping for some favourable winds. Now I have their position I have to check the weather and warn them of any major changes. Unfortunately the news of the England result brought Adam down a bit, but with a big bowl of stew waiting Pete didn't think it would last long. Next update on Monday.

And They're Off

They left on schedule at 12 ish today - got a text this afternoon saying they were doing 6 knots and weather is looking good. I will hear again via bat phone on Friday if all goes according to plan so will have a first position to plot on the chart then.

Time For One More Party

Monday night was party night and did they party. Got a load of pictures through and it has been quite difficult to narrow down which ones to post. They got together with Keith and the gang off Aqua Equinox http://www.aquaequinox.com/ and a very good time was had by all. Adam has learnt a valuable lesson - you don't get drunk on champagne. He was fit for nothing all day yesterday.

God if San sees this she's gonna think we are enjoying ourselves!

Today they have to go and get their papers cleared for leaving, and they will then get going around lunchtime. I think it's probably a good idea for them to be getting underway now - give their livers a break and get some rest!

Getting Organised

Well they spent yesterday cleaning up - well half the day anyway. Apprently the decks and the carpets had all turned a lovely shade of grey so a scrub was in order. Then they spent the afternoon at the swimming pool - it's all about work/life balance! They are hoping to get lifted in quite promptly this morning so they can chug around for the rest of the day. The weather is looking favourable for them to leave on Wednesday and they are beginning to get excited at the prospect.
