Happy New Year and good luck with the big trip to the Americas .What a different life you are leading these days .Despite the appalling weather we had a great Christmas and New year-You realise your 18 year old is all grown up(?) when he comes in at 2am and starts on the dog biscuits . Do i have anything left to teach them .
I am going on a course this week to be a GP trainer .I get to avoid work, stay in a country house hotel at someone elses expense and a day of in lieu- this salaried job has a lot to recommend it .
Xxx Cheryl

Happy New Year. I hope that the rowers are well lit at night. We’ll watch out for them xx

Happy New Year to you all. We’ve been told that flying fish are tasty fried, but so far have thrown the ones that have landed on deck back into the sea xx

The race I mentioned is the Talker Whiskey Atlantic Challenge. 26 teams left La Gomera in Canary islands and are rowing to Antigua estimated time of 42-50 days. So I think a bit north of you. It for ‘older rowers’ and includes a team of ladies from Yorkshire and some amputeed soldiers. Given Hugh’s new mastery of the pulleys positioning on the side I’m sure you could overtake……..or there is the outboard motor!!
Have a good crossing and look forward to speaking to you across the pond.
love J

Had to laugh at the mention of those pesky mosquito sounding things that Hugh loves so much! That dorado may well have been using Vega in the hope of food. Flying fish are one of its favourite prey and of course moving boats do flush them out. Striking colours as you say.
Anyway, happy new year to you all.
