Pump'n Ions
14 December 2017 | 2800 Miles to Cape Horn
6:00pm Thursday 14th December 2017 ( UTC-2 ) Your GP, your dietician and your coach will all tell you the importance of regular exercise. Well the exercise couldn't get more regular than pumping water through a membrane in your reverse osmosis water maker. 40 strokes to the minute, hour in, hour out. No more. No less. Now some of the old codgers down at the Toowong Rowing Club would reckon that's a pretty fair rate, but when I go on to explain that the stroke length is only 40 cms they'd agree even the Golden Oldies could handle that. For a while there in the middle of the day I felt I was producing perspiration at a greater rate than product but, granted a few breaks, ended the day 14 litres ahead with three hours of operation.And what product. Much more akin to the Franklin than the wrong end of the Murray that was coming out of the now sidelined electric model. Never becalmed but a lot of very light almost following winds last night and today, which was sort of expected, but with dusk coming on things appear to be pi cking up a bit.
