"Day 7 [of Leg2], have had a dream run to date, but weather looking grim next 2 days with uncomfortable wind and swell mixed with rain. We still have 90% fuel, 75% water,60% food, but only 9 beers and 1 bottle of wine. Missing loved ones, especially those that don't snore or fart."
I did have a laugh when I saw this message, and really hope I meet the 'special' criteria! haha
1700hrs - Position Lat 31 degrees 46.5 Long 159 degrees 22.5
For the first time in 5 days the guys sighted land today, at 1201hrs to be precise. I hope some of the remaining bottles of beer were ceremoniously cracked open for the occasion! At 1700hrs they passed Balls Pyramid and Jeff's comments were "passing Balls Pyramid - simply stunning. Lord Howe Island looks like 2 big boobs in the background". Nice to see a few weeks at sea haven't changed his sense of humour! The ETA in Sydney is still Friday (1800 hrs), so only 4 more sleeps to go!
All is well on the homefront with the Canberran locals rejoicing after a solid day of rain, and several more days of it to come. There must be something about Capital cities and me, this is very reminiscent of Wellington!Over and out ...
