The wind continues to ease and veer for us, the sea has flattened out a lot, and Nasdaq is back to full sail having just shaken out our last reef after breakfast. This all feels very calm and gentle after the preceding week, although still quite chilly. Sounds like the weather is getting kite-able further south, but we're still close on the wind up here so spinnakers will have to wait a while longer.
Short blog today, as I've been busy playing the dinosaur game Andy Burns (GREAT Britain) told us about. High score is now 1,000+ - how are all the other skippers doing? Maybe we could have a Unicef-sponsored dinosaur showdown in Freo?
Further to the comments on the origin of "Freo", the town of Fremantle was named after the ancestor of my old friend and boss (check out Oasis Events if you want an amazing party) Mark 'Magic' Fremantle. He has sadly never visited the port that bears his family name, so I'll have to find some tacky souvenirs to send him. Would they go straight to the pool room?
Cheers, Rob
