In the middle of nowhere

An interesting trip up to Sydney... It was a non-race, to the middle of nowhere, 40 knots on the nose.... what was that all about? We just wanted a nice little trip, but no; a shit load of wind, freezing cold and icy water. Then we had to sail slalom style to get into Sydney harbour, so that we could avoid all the lobster pots. Luckily Marcus took over the helm at that point, as my skills aren't really up to that.... So I am not overly excited about the trip across the Atlantic. Am feeling that it may be a bit of a grind - cold and wet, and apparently there are 17 icebergs near where we are going??? It is also the last ocean, so a little sad too. But I have now bought a key piece of kit - some marigolds .... (dry hands, and hopefully warm ones!).
Canada has been nice though. V friendly people, though nasty old weather.
