A CONFUSED SEA (DAY 7)
7th JUNE 2005 1200BST 4456.0000N,04531.0000W, 0M
After an anxious wait yesterday to see exactly how close and ferocious our storm might be the relief of getting underway agaln was a major boost. Although conditions were far from good, any miles made last night were a bonus for us. We were promised a confused sea and that is just what we got. Whacked by waves from every angle, bad enough in daylight but at night a real test. I wonder if the sea may be a bit confused at why 4 blokes in a rowing boat are out here. Spirits remain high and George has decided to release a cookery book on his return, starting with ROCKYS PORRIDGE. You,ll have to ask him about that one yourselves. Till tomorrow.

Yours aye. The Crew.
