Jubilate Mare - Hooray!

It's me again - hope you're glad to hear from me.

Well we passed the half way mark, yesterday, without further incident. We cheered and sounded the horn and I captured the sunset for prosperity. We decided to have a bottle of fizz tomorrow in celebration of the event and also as Birthday Bubbles for our boat baby who will turn 29. Strangely enough on our Eastward crossing, in 2018, our then boat baby, Bruno, also turned 29. He will be joining us in SL to crew for World Arc along with Kieron who was with us on the same trip.

We have had an incredible day's sailing averaging 7.1 knots and we are currently lying half way within our group. We actually managed to listen in on the SSB today. A number of boats have been fortunate to have caught fish and filleting and recipes were discussed. We are still waiting!

Daily temperature readings are being recorded by all crew, but we have just learnt that we will be subjected to further PCR tests on arrival and will need to quarantine on board for 36 hours until we get the all clear. But who knows - this could well change. After all we still have another 9 days or so to go.

Did any one spot the error on my Watch Rota Chart? The bottom line was the same as the top! Hooray for masking tape to alter the dates. This adjustment meant that we had to 'slip' an hour a day early - which in fact we did yesterday.

Hope all is well with you and yours. Bee at sea
