We are reaching fast along the north coast of New Zealand with less than
140nm to go and only one more night at sea. At our 5 o'clock team meeting
the Skipper asked each of us to state one thing we were looking forward to
when ashore. And not surprising the old adage of the five "S's" springs to
mind. 1) "Shit" - no need to hang on to a grab handle whilst trying to
take aim at a moving target. 2) "Shave" - looking forward to the end of
Movember and the irritating growth on my face. 3) "Shower" - by the bucket
full with oodles of hot water and plenty of soap. 4) "Shore" - beer, steak
& chips, red wine, whisky, more whisky, even more whisky ..... 5) "S***",
what was the fifth "S" again - "Shouldn't have had that last whisky"
perchance.........
