New Crew

New Crew

In the excitement that we were off to the Pacific Ocean via the Panama Canal, a new crew member appeared on board. Also useful for showing us exactly how rough it is. She wiggles her hips when the motion of the ocean becomes a little bumby. Together with her colourful clothing and lack of underwear she is a great asset to any team.

The good ship left the lovely Island of Antigua just after sun set the other day. It is difficult to tell which day because of a serious lack of sleep, which makes it feel like it was actually last week. We have taken fuel in St Maartin over night. St Maartin had run out of fuel last week and the 200 tons that we took on board last night , will probably mean that they will run out again soon.

For now I have cancelled our transit of the Panama Canal and we are heading to the little known Bay Islands, which lay just north of Honduras over. The passage is 1500 miles and is expected to take us 4 days and for anyone who is interested we do have the Honduras flag on board...
