March 16th and it looks like we could be good to go at 18.00hrs today.
It has been a long and eventful journey so far but should be sailing on
the high seas very soon.The riggers are tensioning all the cables and we should be going out for
a test sail prior to departure to make sure all is well.
Last night we were entertained by the local sailing club where we were
wined and dined and got involved in many drinking games - pleased to say
that TF came out on top!
Left at 17.00 hrs to a smaller send off but we still had the.......got
that far before started feeling lousey again!!
Another two days of sickness but hopefully it may have passed on now.
We are putting into Yokohama so we can pick now water and make our way to
SF.
Things seem to be OK on board everyone getting on - case of having to
really!
Encountered some really heavy winds and seas over the last two days _storm
force 8 and 40ft waves, sat on the edge of the boat loking down a huge
black whole.
Seen a large pod of dolphins which was great and today on Mother watch
cooking for crew - tinned ham glazed withwhatever I can find, red cabbage
and apples, mash and peas.
Still hoping to get to SF on time and the target is to catch
Edinburgh....yea right!!
