Jubilate Mare - Nearly there!



Well the end really is almost in sight and we are hoping for arrival Tuesday morning. In celebration, of this anticipated conclusion to the second leg, we are going to have our last bottle of red wine with a cheese board tonight - (we actually only bought two!)

I must say we have been very lucky on this crossing, the weather has been glorious. Not too hot, not too cold and we’ve only experienced the edge of one squall and that didn’t last long enough to dampen spirits. Moral is high and Bruno’s enthusiasm for everything (including an eternal optimism that his bread will turn out) is a delight.

Kieron, our master chef, excelled himself last night. With what limited fresh supplies we now have left, he and Roos prepared Vietnamese spring rolls with a sweet and sour sauce, followed by poires belle Helene for desert. Actually it was tinned pears with chocolate sauce, but it tastes so much better with a French name. As the hoped-for abundant fresh fish has still failed to materialise I think Kieron has felt honour bound to pull out all the stops! Still, we do have two more days to achieve a bite and there’s always leg 3, so we live in hope.
