Hi all,
Well, this will probably be the last blog of this leg and, as I type, we are
beating upwind in 35 knots of very, very cold wind to make the finish line. We
actually had a little bit of snow when it first came through. To make it even
more exciting the visibility is virtually nothing in thick fog.
This has truly been a very tough, interesting leg and, although our performance
is not very good, completing this leg safely will be a relief!
We have truly had a fantastic crew and it’s going to be really, really sad
saying goodbye to some. Shona Davies you are "Dare To Lead"! Your efforts in everything you do have
been sterling! Most notably your amazing foredeck work, your helming, which got
better and better and the million sail ties and doughnuts you made! You are one
grumpy girl when you wake up but we still love you! Gary Webster, train driver
extraordinaire, who would have known you love singing so much and know all the
words to random songs.
You are fantastic company, a rock-solid guy and your humour fitted right in
with this crew! We know you would rather lie on a beach in Thailand than be
with us in the North Pacific but we will forgive you, maybe. We will all come
and ride your train in London!!
Mark Askew, my first mate, What a cracking guy!! Solid, reliable and slightly
crazy, we all hugely value your input and company - see you on Leg 7.
One last would you rather.......
Would you rather spend two years with your soul mate, or your life with a
convenient relationship? Dale out
