Hello Lancelot II Fans
Hot hot hot!!! We’ve gone from moaning about the rain to thinking a cloud
is a good thing for a few moments! Last night we were under the poled out head
sail. Harriet from Southern Child spoke to us at 9pm, they were 6nm behind us
and doing fine but they got rained on all day poor things. Palpatine popped up
on the AIS about 5nm behind later on the evening and they’ve been on the horizon
to the left of us ever since. They have a big red kite up so they are easy to
spot!
Things we’ve learnt today-
1. Everyone kicking the little washboard on the way of the companionway is
still funny. Honestly, we’ve been on this boat for more than 10 days now, you’d
think we would have learned.
2. Tying your swim shorts to the aft guard rails after a shower is no
guarantee they’ll be there in the morning. Chris has paid the sacrifice to
Neptune...
3. We have less than 1000nm to go to St Lucia woop woop. I can taste the
pina coladas already. Does anyone know if the steak house is still there? The
one where Ross Appleby did the ‘eat the big steak and get your meal for free’
challenge? Some time tomorrow tonight probably, we’ll be over two thirds of the
way.
4. Jim has run out of his pink gingham boxers so we and Catherine well have
to find something else to giggle about when he gets up in the middle of the
night.
5. Our blog is being read in Torino! Peter spoke to his wife who lives
there (as does he!) and she said they are all avidly reading it.
6. Jono had a shower!
Love to everyone at home
