240 Yachts in this Race - So Where is Everybody?
Nearly 240 Yachts set off from Las Palmas on the same day at the same time heading for St Lucia …. So where is everybody? For the last 2 days all we have seen is a couple of yachts tracking across the horizon and that is it! However, thanks to the ARC Net on SSB in addition to the regular information and updates regarding any situations or emergencies affecting ARC Yachts that are emailed by World Cruising Club, which is very reassuring! In the past 24hours there have been two additional situations involving ARC yachts. One involves a medical emergency (burns) with the injured crew member due to be evacuated to a commercial ship today. The second incident involved 2 illegal immigrants that boarded an ARC Yacht. The other Immigrants stayed in their vessel. A second ARC Yacht is standing by the boarded yacht until a Navel Vessel and aircraft arrives later today.
Food – Again we all ate very well yesterday. Porridge and avocado pears for early-bird breakfast. The cooking of the full cooked English Breakfast (planned every Wednesday) was going really well until we slid sideways down a rather large wave causing my grilled tomatoes topped with melted grated parmesan cheese to impact the side of the oven and then slide down the back wall! Rescue mission took place but they never quite looked the same after that! Lunch was home made French Onion Soup with large cheesy croutons and warldorf.
Last night – with our Parasailor making for a comfortable ride we decided to watch 'Breakfast at Tiffany's – but again we were foiled when the on-watch crew member in the cockpit announced the arrival of Dolphins on the bow! It was both amazing and captivating to watch these playful creatures play in the bow wave for so long.
Finally, the Skipper baked bread; we caught 2 fish but lost them both straight away, all evening we have been squall dodging. And last but not least Clive the Chive and the Rosalyn the Rosemary plants are surviving well!
