we have our first taker for the 2007 london marathon – wooohooo – onya katherine. hope there will be lots more. i’m going to have to get my shoes back on – can’t wait for the day. not sure how we will organise this one but will discuss with steve when he gets back from london in a week or so and let all y’all know. must check out aeolus – at the moment, he’s only vaguely peripheral to my pantheon but if he’s that efficacious, we need him inimical. erk – did i really say that?
hooning along again – can’t quite believe it after this morning. 74 miles in 12 hours. very cautious optimism once again – things really do change so fast. there’s a gale warning around the cold front associated with the nasty great low to the sw, coming up behind us at 30 kts. once, the knees would have trembled a lot – no more. seems to be just what we need – bring it on. we’ve got about 30 kts up the collective chuff right now anyway. almost daylight outside – getting closer…
scott, thanks – cascade would be fine, but i think that customs might get sniffy if they find out – perhaps better to wait until we clear.
lynne mcc – welcome aboard – my last boat was a c29 – where do you and rowley keep them? we will miss this log too – the london marathon idea should keep something rolling, but it’s not quite the same.
