So we are fully in the trades , and ripping along averaging 10knts per hour , of course, with Pinkie up ( she was launched this morning at 08.00) . Radio contact with the rest of the fleet is becoming more challenging as we are so far ahead . but hay ho , tomorrow we will move to another frequency on the SSB -
All are enjoying the wind ..and hot air as we prepare for our St Patrick's day celebrations and Adrian's B'day
Who says we are not racing ..
Imagine our surprise to come across a mid Pacific race track right in the middle of the steeple chase season, thanks to Adrian & Jens we had a " night at the races"- formal attire required - close run thing between Daniel and David for best dressed man - ( Daniel won by a hair on account of the G&H blazer )- best dressed lady went to Jens -
Rosie's horse Shopaholic - looked so close to winning for such along time , it was a shame to see her pipped at the post by O'Donnell's " Millarkey" winning the much coveted - Blue Boobie footwear Prize.
The K8 St Patrick's day quiz is going well, with early irreverent entries received from some of the fleet.
All is well on board, only 1730 miles to go !
