29Th Oct - Andy Leaver writes, Nick the 1St Mate is still proving that you can smoke in any weather conditions along with Steve who had proved that you can drink hot wets even when the boat is on it's side. The Skipper is a bit phased that he is falling behind with the beard growing competition. Cat Deeley has only just let on that he took a vow of silence before he started the leg, which explains a lot. We are all now hoping that Viv follows suit. Chris "Feet" Humphries is the hero of the boat by protecting the craft from a massive wave. This would have seen all of us dead, but the quick thinking young man used his own deckshoes to shield us. Mr. Lapping is still asking the question, how did small prawns get into the water filter system, and where did they come from? I'm still loving sailing especially when alarms are sounding behind my head and I'm getting Jerry cans thrown at me. All my love to Team Leaver, Sarah, missing you and look forward to being together more than you will ever know......................
