Let me introduce Georgia...that's not Goergia in the picture

Sorry shipmates but this lady insists on being mentioned....not in our watch....enough said.

Mike and I are on harbour duties tonight 12 - 2.. What that means we get to say who comes on board or not...quite simply if you haven't got your watch card you are not getting on...we have lots of responsibility...check for fires on board...normal caused by ladies hair driers...generally we get to chat and eat and drink lots of coffee to stay wake into the early hours....tomorrow we are going on a cheese and wine tour....will keep you posted shipmates.

Plain Sailing on calmer waters!

Day 3: After a dry piece of toast brought to him in his pit...that's a bunk...Dave finally surafced from the the big white throne and decorating the side of the ship. Alison still feeling a bit gingerly and Mo has taken a liking to Mikes ginger nuts....biscuits that is. Jamie still on mess duties...as Mike takes the helm...Dave plays with his parrot and Maggie continues to keep us entertained. Clare our Virgin helmsman bring us safely along side to Gran Tarajal...28.2118 Longtitude -14.0209... Take a look...a beautiful place.

Green around the Gills

Day 2: Done well. Ate lots. Sailed....By the way that's our Watch Leader a lady of many words.

Well we are now on day 2...an eventful time...Dave had breakfast...manage a tight grip on it...only to recycle it 3 hours later over the side he was as green as his outreach trousers lol...

Meanwhile Alison was greener still but Maggie kept it all light hearted...the only green related to Maggie was her jacket. Jamie was on mess making and eating food....sickening...sorry no vomit photos that just wouldn't be fair...

Mike is conquering all his fears and challenges and an inspiration to others. Mike undertook his first night watch whilst all the others fell to their bunks being slightly worse for weather...Dave you light weight...Mike was acting as look out on the starboard side...only to see a few stars and a flashing light which was a false alarm, only to discover it was Maggie's torch!...I won't tell you where she was flashing...to naughty to report but it's a bloody good read in the Captains Log.
