Captains Blog - January 10th 2015
Entry read it was decided that the Canaries 4 astutely named after Dave Hales interest in birds one of a feathered variety, should meet.
So we set our heading lattitude 51.943042 and longtitude -1.211233 for our secret rendezvous somewhere off the M40 nowhere near water but some beautiful views of golden amber nectar.
After the quick introductions it was down to some serious conversation about our Sailing adventure which consisted of is it hot enough for shorts, what factor sun tan oil do I need and Dave's odd thought would vaseline be needed.....mmmh where am I sleeping thank god I have the top bunk!
Having finally decided whether or not ginger biscuits were better than sea sickness tablets we got onto more pressing issues of Mike and Dave and the songs they were going to sing whilst on watch or for those of you who are not familiar with sailing slang....look out. Those of you that do not know Dave he's a bit of a dark sea horse....musically talented on his fiddle and ukulele.
This would be the ideal time for those of you tuning into the blog for the first time to send in your requests to Mike and Dave. We will endeavour to video them and post on the blog. Mike and Alison want this to be an interactive blog....it's my first time blogging....so not too sure how you get your sea shanty requests out at sea....but just in case you feel like being part of Mike and Alison's adventure you can email your request to sendmeasongatsea@gmail.com
Mike will be sharing his location interactively via itouchmap.com and sharing a range of GPS co-ordinates via the blog as Wi-Fi reception isn't that great miles out at sea. Just plug in the co-ordinates and see where the Canaries 4 have been. Try it out with the co-ordinates above to find out where our first rendezvous took place. There's a treasure chest of gold for the first blogger response.
