Laura Dawn - Pacific Log 6: Lets get Quizical



Round 2 of our quiz with Owl yesterday over the radio. This time we had to use the SSB as we have spread out a bit and they were too far away to be reached on the VHF. After another day of 20-24 knot winds it provided a welcome bit of fun to distract us from the wind and waves. Other than that, our only other bit of excitement was seeing how long Hels could balance a magdalena on her knee for (which turned out to be quite a long time actually).

We enjoyed a chat with another yacht that we sailed close too, on their way to the Marquesas overnight, and it was nice to have a little company and see their navigation lights on the horizon after nearly 10 days from land. We were also joined by a brown footed boobie for a few hours, who perched on the cross trees and quickly rekindled our hatred of birds by giving Jack the job of cleaning the deck below where he sat (the boobie, not Jack that is).

We now look forward to round 3 of the LD- Owl Quiz at 4 o'clock today, scores to date put Owl at 10.5 and LD at 8... we are losing badly!

Here's a question as a taster:

What orientation do bananas grow at - (up or down)?

Finally, we'd like to give a shout out to all the mums of crew reading this.
Jack
