Morning PSP Peeps,
Today's blog will have it all. Something to make you gasp, something to make you cry, something to make you cheer, and, of course, the all important ice breaker.
Over the past 48 hours we have had a little bit of everything. A bit of lunchtime calm as the party season is taking a break - although the galley offerings remain strong. A fair amount of sailing. We have charged down wind at over 20 knots with the spinnaker up, leaping over waves - what AQP Cam would probably call sporty! (gasp!) We have bobbed in windholes (cry!) We have done some champagne sailing across a flat sea with the sun out making good speed (cheer!) Now we are currently heeled hard over beating up wind while the hot drink makers in the galley try not to send tea bags and milk powder flying.
Lots of milestones have been passed. We are now north of Gosport - further north than many of our crew have ever sailed. We have left the edge of Brazil to our west, so are starting our transatlantic crossing proper. We have less than 1,000 miles to go. I have just finished my 450th cup of tea (cheer again!) We have been plagued by dolphins, that just don't seem to want to leave us alone. And have started to see a lot of North Atlantic seabirds. Fulmars and kittiwakes mostly.
Oh shoot. I forgot the icebreaker. Anyway, here goes... a group of slightly strange Canadians, Americans, Germans, Brits and Ozzie’s go on a sailing holiday together...
On, on
Mike, Lottie and the doing a lot of sailing crew of PSP Logistics
