La Rochelle - Last Day



At dawn this morning we have 90 miles to go to S/L, every one is getting exited about completely our mission. Had a great sail yesterday under main and poled out heady in the morning , and as the breeze dropped in the afternoon to around 12-16 knots we went for the parasailor. Very frustrating generating 8 knots of boat speed in 15 knots of wind and then tripping over it as we sailed into a hole of 10 knots of wind. The wind in the Atlantic is anything but consistent, and when the forecast says 10 - 15, it is just that, all in a minute, up and down like a yoyo. So sailing on the edge of the kite can only be done hand steering.

Thought we would share some boat one liners from the trip
Wtf r we
If Fannie fisher beats us across the Atlantic I will cut my throat.
Not that red rope the other one
Cook me some eggs b
Wake up captain coco, it is your watch
This coffee is shit
How much fuel is left?
Get off facebook it is costing $10 a minute
Are we there yet
Gees you stink
I love the smell of bilge water in the morning, it smells like victory
Don't drink my coke
Who's pubic hair is that?
Don't stand so close to me
Can we eat that?
Jelly potatoes, that is not a dish
Is it safe to turn the watermaker on?
Stop wearing my undies on your head
Why are you off the rhumb line?
Why are you on the rhumb line?
Here comes some breeze
You have had your 6 yoghurts
Who ate all the chocolate biscuits?
Is the dragon awake yet?
I am hungry , what's to eat?
Is it time for the 12 o'clock update yet?
Who did we catch today?
The breeze is only 6 hours in front of us.
Get in the barrel
Just dropped the kids off at the pool
Keep it up as long as you can.

Cheers to all from La Rochelle and hopefully tomorrow we will be in Saint Lucia!
