Hot Stuff - Fairies of the Lost Arc - Chapter 6



Fairies of the Lost Arc - Chapter 6   
 
No. of Italian Canapés – 3 each
No. of washed ladies - 9   
 
Fairy ARC spa opened with the arrival of the sun today. We decided that Hot stuff was too heavy in the now light winds and a removal of grime was necessary for proper weight distribution. Operation complete - skipper is happy to announce that 9 clean women can now finally sail in the right direction(!) and have topped a speed of 11.7 knots upwind. Impressive!

It's been a day of new beginnings.

A new word 'clean' was added to our dictionaries.
The Laundrette opened at dawn - read ahead to understand bucket and washing process...
The Great ARC bake off started. Jo and Nikki kicked it off with a stunning lemon drizzle cake. They went for the rustic style of a 'slant cake'. Read previous blog to understand lengths of the cooking process...
Over to Charlotte's greengrocers - a generous helping of fruit went into lunches salad today. Our favourite tomatoes also ran out at lunch... however, Nikki decided to cheer us up by becoming one. She is trying to start a tom face trend - not sure Tricia and the elf and safety police are too impressed.
On the less successful side of things - epic fail on the dry stores provisioning. We have discovered why the pasta has been compared to wallpaper paste, dumplings or bricks. Instead of being durum wheat it is semolina ... YUK. There we were blaming it on the gas.
 
For today's insight into life on-board we want to educate you all on how to shower the Hot stuff way:
#1. Remove clothing that you have been wearing for the last 8 days.
#2. Collect years supply of products supplied to us by Wella - thank you! much appreciated.
#3. Assume position on the low side toe rail.
#4. Almost fall in.
#5. Attach safety reins.
#6. Cling like terrified baby monkey to stanchion.
#7. Commence project get bucket of water out of sea whilst moving at 7 knots.
#8. Almost dislocate arm.
#9. Get extremely heavy bucket out to find you've only acquired 3 teaspoons of water.
#10. Repeat processes #7, #8 and #9 until matt of hair is finally wet.
#11. Select one of many hairbrushes and salon products that are capable of harvesting one's dreads.
#12. Head beautician Claire works her magic.
#13. Half an hour later you exit salon shiny, buffeted but not shaven as yet. (competition to be explained later)
 
After the dismal few days we have had in the rain and gales, today was a new day; mutiny has been abandoned.
Signing off the blog watching the sun go down, almost eating cake and having a Queen sing-along hour... "Fatbattomed Girls do really make our world go round"
 
With love and fairy dust from the Girls4Sail crew on Hotstuff.
