Makara of Exe - 18 hours away



So we are 18 hours away from the end and the two captains have finally learnt how to get the boat going in the right direction and that is... to use the engine. The benefit of this for me is that more of the deck is in the sun (I think they are getting more and more motivated by the rum at the end of the rhumb line).

We are all looking forward to seeing the end to our night shifts and returning to a normal sleeping pattern. Although Dad is going to have to set an alarm to get his morning chocolate biscuit hit at 4am now instead. Every morning I come up for my shift and I see him guiltily nibbling before quickly hiding the packet in the fridge 'so the chocolate doesn't melt'. Our 18 day supply of chocolate has somehow only lasted 7.

The last few days have been very relaxing on deck - the conversation has changed from sail trimming etc etc to pensions, Brexit and 80s music. I don't know what is worse? Either way I have learned a lot about old men.

If any girls want to talk about girly things when I arrive home that would be most welcome.
