Idea of London - Awesome Sailing, 30N 22W



Hello hello,

Here we are again reporting on IDEA news from out in the wild blue yonder.
Or I should say black yonder as it's a black black night. The kind of black
that you can take our knife out and cut.

At the moment there is no sky, no horizon our entire world is just the boat.
Everything outside the nav lights doesn't exist. And all of this after a
day of just about the most perfect sailing you could ask for.

Breeze from exactly the right direction. Waves from exactly the right
direction and heads in exactly the right place. The sun brilliantly out all
day and just about the entire crew took advantage. All hands on deck, not
necessarily for a manuver but just simply to be outside and relaxed. Books
got read, press ups were done, but most of all it was a cleaning day.

Everyone pitched in a hand as we gave the cockpit a good scrubbing. Soap
suds flying about the place, scrubbing brush gone to town, and in short
order we have a sparkley clean work/living area in the back.

And there is a day in the life a an ocean crossing which most of the people
are here to experience. Getting away from that normal day in the life of.
Today, on a normal day Ludo Mackenzie would be in London in the office where
he plays around on Facebook, and inbetween chats officially lends money to
real estate investors. It's a wonderful and fullfilling job, with a fast
pace that keeps his mind engaged all day(when he's not on Facebook of
course). But nothing in his office has prepared him for or the intensity of
what he's found over the past few days in the ocean which he is using to
clear his head and enjoy some time away. Destination Caribbean then becomes
the goal.

And a worthy goal at that. For us all. The entire fleet in fact, so we
will see you there in as short an order as we can. We are racing afterall.
