Virgin Global Row

Tuesday, April 14, 2009Don Fridtjof

On the bill of fare this evening we had sweet and sour chicken which hasn't turned up for a  long time and what a goodn he is. Rowed a few hours today before we were making too much South and had to set the old parachute anchor. Its surprising how quickly ones hands start getting soft after just a few daYS without rowing. Had to break into the forrard library the other day and bring a new store of books into the Ritz.  Of course DOn Quixote is still ongoing...as well as Farthest North, about Fridtjof Nansen's drift across the arctic Ice and an anthology of Cast Aways.   Its good reading all these books, good to get a bit better learned innit.... Plenty of birds around - as well as water and sky. It has been asked when we will arrive - well I dunno - when we do really.  Maybe 2-3-4 weeks... Depends on the  weather and  how much I sleep  and read.
