Who said there are never enough hours in the day, today we had a 26-hour day as we moved our clocks back as we head west.

It’s always a bit exciting as you change time, another exciting time is when a new paper chart comes out. But the most exciting day of the week is undie Sunday, the day that underwear gets changed. It’s a great feeling, add a baby wipe wash and a clean t-shirt and I’m ready for the disco. We even had some rain today, just enough for Alice (Sanya Serenity Coast Ambassador) to apply shampoo, but not enough to wash it out, so rinsed in salt water it was. Not too sure how beneficial that will be…

Life goes on, we see those crazy stray cats of the seas (dolphins) from time to time, and my all-time least favourite thing, those evil dead staring eyes of squid. I always imagine that your squid count is being taken down by the giant nasty squid from the deep and when it gets to a certain number, he will come and reek his revenge (over active imagination I hear you say).

Tonight, has been a tough night, started off lovely, then the cloud cover came over which made helming under kite a tad difficult. We only had our more experienced helms on but, at times, was still tricky. So far, so good, and it is just getting lighter now so hopefully we have got through this one unscathed.

Better get back up on deck, I’ve just pulled an all-nighter without the use of chocolate covered coffee beans, so I think a long sleep today will be in order

Whooroo
