A hoy Black pig,

How you holding out, you've been through some lumpy bits. bet you've lost a stone or so.
Hope your making it realistic by at least living in the garden shed, balanced on a medicine ball.
Spilt the wee wee bucket all over the floor, Konked your head every 1/2 hour, egg timer going off every 20 mins, making concoctions in your cooking pot that you can't eat anyway. Shouting at the head winds, thanking the fair winds. pouring buckets of water over your cloths and bed.
Your neighbours will think your nuts, Welcome to the converted
Malcome

It never stopped my children from asking every five minutes in the car. Now they can see the GPS for themselves, with an ETA, and the clock on the car right next to it, and still they ask.

So, sounds like we will need plenty of food that does not need cooking, and plenty of stugeron. That should keep the wind speed down. Oh yes, and another spare bucket.

I'm very concerned that you're going backwards - in time. Your latest position was recorded 17 days before you left.
 
"May June June May" 15 days at sea, give me a break, the sat phone has been in the bilge for three days as it's the driest place on the boat. my log is now 5 times the size of when I started with green mould on it. the quills have all gone blunt so the ink runs and I can't read my writing. I had to crank start the computer to get the interweb up and running, The only thing working is the bloke who keeps walking around the deck while I'm trying to sleeeeeeeeeeep
