saw the ellen programme last night. compared to the film of the whitbread/volvo this is strictly brown trouser stuff. i feel as though i've done nothing more exciting than a pedalo round the bay.

Preecey looked happy! The Kerguelen's must be worse than Adrossan if they elected for a fornight under jury rig rather than go there!

2000 miles under jury rig in 2 weeks. i'd be happy with that fully rigged!

Quite! Sir Francis averaged 130 miles a day during his circumnavigation = 910 miles a week.

And it wouldn't half make the Cherbourg booze-cruise a doddle!

probably wouldn't have time to take the fenders in,
