Yacht adventure

Antigua to Australia. 10,000 miles, 51 foot yacht, 2 crew.

Tuesday, February 12, 2008

Position: 8.33 S, 119.05W

A slow day. Only 1248 miles till the next stop. Tonight we are under spinnaker. It's a bit like flying a kite in the dark!

We listened to your voice-funny you really do sound very far away!
I reckon a book should follow this adventure. Your posts are engaging even when you talk of small things.
We miss you and wish you the best journey. I can see you and the guitar but can you sing??? Guess it dont matter if the audience is underwater right?

Anonymous said...: Hi Igg - I met Lynne, your cousin, for the first time last week. Knew she was a Martin as soon as I saw her - strong forehead and cheekbones like Grandma. She was very sweet and very easy to get along with. She and her husband Jim are made keen sailors and I went sailing / racing with them last week - a little harrowing but I survived. Hope you're well and you're enjoying some giant squid calamari! Love Sophie xxx; February 13, 2008 at 1:57 PM
