24th July 2011
Today marks our one year anniversary of leaving Jersey and whilst we're not celebrating that (because we do love Jersey) we can celebrate the fact that it coincides with us having sailed 10,000 nautical miles. That's TEN THOUSAND miles. And that's worth celebrating!! The winds have behaved themselves and we've had 15-20 knots all day, which actually has made us realise how much we have put up with over the past three weeks with the stronger winds. It's been so lovely today, the sun has been shining, Mark has fixed the duogen again and the fishing rod so it's all systems go. I have to say, I will be very pleased to refill the water tanks with something other than Galapagos water as, even with the water filter, it has tasted disgusting the whole trip. We're actually quite low on water, so washes have been limited. What am I talking about, none of us have washed the whole trip!! Not strictly true, but I will be very pleased to have a hot shower and clean sheets when we get in. Lochy watched most of HP and the Chamber of Secrets, although most was with his fingers in his ears and eyes closed from the other side of the saloon, Mia baked cakes and I am pleased to report everyone is happy and healthy on board Pegasus of Jersey.
