Weirkraken - Log Weir Kraken cont



Cato needs entertaining - Day 9

When Archie was winched up the mast the hoist (we call it his nappy) had given him the "cool" idea of future diversions. So today he requested to be secured to the mast in his nappy and hung overboard on the side of the boat, where he spent a happy hour reading his book and taking photographs of us taking photographs of him. The Code Zero unfortunately got torn again during the night. We took it down straight away to prevent further damage allowing Rupert and Andy to hone their sticky tape skills. We have decided to store it away until the winds are a bit lighter and we can use it tactically nearer the finishing line.

Weir Kracken is classed as a pleasure craft in the Arc. We would like to think of her as a sleek racing yatch. In fact we can however report that we are strictly speaking a Ocean Conservation Research vessel. We have been asked to collect a sample of the Ocean (up wind and only when wearing cotton!) every three days with all the relevant co-ordinates. A project we heartily endorse. If you would like to know more please go to www.oceanconservation.org.uk.
