Err right OK - first obvious question - did Trazie take all the pictures?? She must have done 'cos she doesn't appear on any!

The timing of those Dolphins is always atrocious - they never comply!

Looks great though. I must say you are bonkers doing the ironing on the bathing platform, even though it makes for a great picture!!

MAIB investigation..."Where was the skipper, and what was he doing at the time he was mangled by the props?"

Two more questions. 1) What was it that happened to one of your motors and 2) do you now hold the record for that trip?

There is a trazie asleep pic, and also a trazie at the helm pic too.

A small pump thingy on the engine had broken, not sure quite what, constant flow summink, vair complicated, the chap didn't say. I wd have to know loads and loads more dieselly things to know about that.

I am sure we don't hold the record - 60 hours from vilamoura is under 20 knots, and we stopped three more times - big ships wouldn't stop at all.

Still good trip by the look of it, its hard work that kind of trip but not one you forget. Glad all back safe,
we would love to hear a TCM vertion of the trip?!"?!?!
never mind about the navigation and things but why the iron on the bathing platform, , was it so if the iron was droped it did not make the carpent, and why did everyone sleep in the cockpit, did you forget the sheet or something, just a few of the questions all [I think ] would like to know the answers too. /forums/images/icons/wink.gif

I'm sure others have quetions they want to ask,

extreme rioning regulations

Fab stuff, looks a great trip. But point of order on extreme ironing rules: you need to be ironing using an ironing board :)

Re: extreme ironing regulations

He was using a mini ironing board, he did cheat though cos he didnt plug the iron in.
