Johanem - Blog 26 May 2013



My Dear Wife

I thought I would send you a quick email whilst the rest of the crew were up on deck to tell you the real truth about what has been going on, on Johanem !!
Well the truth is that our skipper has been running a very tight ship. No alcohol has past our lips since the night before we left. Obviously we could not tell you any of this as skip reads all our blogs before we can send them !!
All our meals have the main ingredient of cabbage which is all very well with noodles but with porridge, I ask you. Apparently its the best veg to have onboard the boat as I does not rot too quickly. The cabbage we had today was over 8 weeks old.....mmmmmm.
The fishing is marvelous, we've caught so many fish we are selling them to any passing trawlers, who we hail, when the freezer is over flowing.
The daily flogging's continue to abound should anyone step out of line but my moral is good as I have not been keel hauled.......yet !!
I am trying to write this whilst stuck in a ferocious storm, that is why the rest of the crew are on deck, battling the elements.
Food and water now in short supply and not sure the way to Horta but hay, look on the bright side, the skip is still telling us jokes. Where does he get them from?
I hope we can arrive in time to get our flight back.
Please don't tell anyone about the real goings on as I don't want any more beatings.
from your husband xx

Pete
