...---... SOS save our souls, we need wind to sail in for Christmas. Yes, the weather forecast has been optimistic, offering 15 knots of wind from the south giving code one (lightweight spinnaker) angles with the promise of arriving this evening for beer and showers, but the forecast didn't pan out!
Instead we have been going through our sail wardrobe to keep inching forward
and just occasionally a little backwards in the adverse current.
We our celebrating our very own ANZAC holiday here on Unicef as we have three antipodean
birthdays one after another.
First up was Kiwi Keith Williams’ 62nd birthday on the 14th December, followed
by Aussie Paul Comyn’s 53rd today, the 15th, and then our Sydney-man
John Young will be celebrating his tomorrow, 16th, so will be arriving
home on his sixty second birthday.
Gladly we have three days of birthday cake to keep us going on our slow drift north.
Cheers,
Bob
