Makena - Nov 28 - 1/4 DTD left!



Our distance to go to the destination (DTD) just fell below one quarter of where it started. It is now about the same as the recent trip between Mallorca and Gibraltar, to give you an idea of scale. We've made good distance these past 24 hours and spirits are high. We had a lovely Thanksgiving dinner which PW is going to describe in incredible detail for you! People are starting to prepare their photo albums for upload on arrival. It's really warm inside the boat... really warm! We got back within radio contact range of some boats yesterday evening so that was nice to have some chats. We had lunch with the red spinnacker of Archer in view. Happy Birthday to my beloved brother Mick - don't know if he is touring in Australia or Ireland right now so I think I'll leave off the phone call (I can't sing anyway!). PhilTar got a photo of Kai that I will cherish for the ages. The babba is eating an absolutely delicious melon sitting on my lap. If I'd known how good those melons would be and how well they last, I would have bought 14 instead of just 2 back in Las Palmas! Definitely a tip for future ARC participants - I'll get the full name of the melon later.

Well, this was just a quick hello.

Makena Over and Out.
