2015 Campaign

Campaigning for the 2015 AZAB Race & Rolex Fastnet Race

Off with their heads!

Todays present from the family is a packet of Jelly Babies - "off with their
heads". They were sumarily dismissed and Jeremy & I are looking forward to
the sugar rush.

Today's dinner, apart from Jelly Babies, includes boil-in-the bag meatballs,
followed by boil-in-the-bag chocolate pudding. No doubt with some home made
fruit cake to follow.

We are setting ourselves up for a busy night on deck, with three sails to
handle. The spinnaker was at last hoisted after the Fastnet along with its
baby staysail which seems to be doing the trick. Only time will tell as we
head west of the rumb line to try to pre-empt a shift in wind from west to
south-west. The routing software has been running overtime and pleased to
say that George is holding his own on the helm. Even to occasional wave
doesn't throw him. George, by the way, is the auto helm.

Choc pud ready, so must dash.....

  2. Homeward bound guys. I so admire you; that weather looks wonderful. Your menu sounds very appertising and hopefully the jelly babies kept you up and helped you through the wild and woolly night. Keep it going. Keeping watch. Not long to go.
