The race for 9th place goes on... Although as the crow flies we do not have too far to go, but as the wind is coming from the direction that we want to go in, we are having to tack (zig zag) our way there - which is taking some time! The last days are always the hardest as however long the race is, everyone is desperate to get there once you are a few days from the end. Today we wil recross the equator, and the Pollywogs (those who have not crossed the equator before) will be initiated. As a Shellback, I am going to be Queen Aphro-something-or-other, which means that i get to chuck the slops over people this time! I am currently rooting around the boat to put some kind of costume together, though unfortunately most of our costume material seems to be halloween based! This time i think that i am most looking forward to some air conditioning, as the boat is beyond hot, and a v cold beer! xx
