It’s a few days after Aliisa go and we were still waiting for Doris to turn up. We were both starting to get worried as they were already three days over due. They really should of arrived after 6 days max but we were approaching the 8th day and still no sign. We decided that if they didn’t turn up by the next day we would have to contact Falmouth to see if they’ve activated their Epirb or something.
Anyways that evening thank god they finally turn up in the night and we guide them in with our flashing torch. They had been taking it easy and decided to go slowly - so then we felt a bit silly after thinking maybe they sank or something. Well happy we were that they arrived safe and sound with no damage to Doris.
We go into town to try and sort Lindsey a flight home cos she’s needs to get a flight to the other island Sal and wants to get home before Christmas. Luckily she gets one for the following day and leaves to go back to Britain. Bye Bye Linds.
Poor Simon is back to being a Solo Sailor again with no one to look after him and cook him meals. Me and Sym decide to adopt him. This means his Atlantic crossing will be spent eating biscuits and chocolates.
Anyways it only two days till Christmas so we decided to stay until then having a proper Christmas day and leave the day after boxing day. We would have left boxing day but as it happens it was a Friday and regrettably we have learnt that its bad luck to start a voyage on a Friday - I wish I never knew this !! So now we wait another day before setting across the pond!!
A big hands up to Simon as he is the one who helped us set up our web site, a massive help! So take it slowly with me everyone , ive got another four months of updating to do so give me a couple of weeks!!
