Another cracking day
of sailing with sunshine, blue skies and favourable winds. Yesterday we had
the Spinnaker out (see photo). Today we are back goose winged. We are really
eating up the miles now and the finish line is getting ever
closer.
I think
onboard we all forget that it is December and Christmas is barely 3
weeks away now. I'm sure at home the trees and decorations are being put
up. Christmas cards are being written and present shopping is reaching
fever pitch. Christmas songs are on the radio and everyone has had enough of
Kevin the Carrot and the Elton John Lewis advert.
To try and get
ourselves into the Christmas spirit, and given we are now on day 12 of our
crossing, we have had a bash at reworking the 12 Days of Christmas using a
few of the events and sights of our voyage.

On our Atlantic

Eleven awesome

Ten stars a

Nine Dolphins

Eight sun burnt
sailors,
Seven Whales a

Six fish a

Five minute showers,
Four soaring
birds
Three Mahi
Mahi,
Two (ish) days
to go,
And a net trapped turtle that we freed
