Monday 4th Feb- Luxury hot food!
Day: 25Distance covered: 432 milesSince being
stuck in our cabin for nearly the whole of my
birthday, we areplease to report that we've been
busy rowing over the weekend (31 miles onSaturday
and 30 miles on Sunday).We saw another fishing
vessel today, which we kept a eye on following
theclose call we experienced last week. It turned
out that we were right towatch this boat too,
because as they started to come near us we
realisedthey were also on a collision course!
Again, following maritimeprocedures, we tried to
contact the vessel by radio and this time
theyanswered, thankfully! So not such a close
call this time, but well worthfollowing the
necessary procedures.The best news is that we've
eaten our first hot food in ages. We atefreeze-
dried beef casserole last night, which was
actually really tasty!This morning we tucked into
freeze-dried porridge, rice pudding and coffee- a
real luxury!Although our overall progress has been
slow, we always knew that the firstfew weeks would
be the hardest. So here's hoping that the bad
weather willstart to get behind us and the hard
slog south puts us in a strongerposition to pick
up the trade winds, because we're certainly not
planningto still be rowing in six months time!
Thank you for your continued messages of support,
we're really grateful.
