Falbala C - Day 5 at sea 27 Nov 2008
A very eventful 48 hours on board Falbala, or HMS Falbala as she's now known after winning the first round of long distance Battleships against HMS Gulliver. Oliver lead the fleet to a courageous victory putting Team Falbala 1-0 up in the series!
It was all hands on deck at 2345 last night as the spinnaker got itself tangled round the forestay, after a quick discussion, the spinnaker was lowered and the forestay poled out, we have been successfully goose-winging since, recording the vessels second ever fastest speed and averaging above 7kts.
Scutch's snoring has hit an all time high, whereas his fishing an all time low.
The delicious meals continue to flow from the galley, this time Catherine showing her skills in producing a lovely lemon chicken supper.
All is well onboard with great steady winds and the thought of heading due west only a day or two away!
Love from all of us on FALBALA
