Reception ok – you could probably double up, but just watch to see what I collect. Power is likely to be the main problem from here. Have turned off satcom tfn‘till further notice’. I’m getting reasonable connects as we get closer and then -will it ever happen – past Africa. Half a mile to go…

Malcom – analysis spot on re Agulhas current. Ta.

BelmoreSydney School corresponding with Berri SouthSydney School corresponding with Berri Presentation Evening

If miracles happen, your’re invited, to present the awards for Leadership & Citizenship on the 14th December. If you can’t make it, I have to present them, on your behalf and I won’t be anywhere near as interesting. As you’ve probably gathered, ours is a very multicultural school, so our presentation evening is by no means the stuffy, boring affair that other schools have. It’s more like a party.

Alex, we’ll get the choir singing Blow the Wind SoutherlyEnglish folk song made famous by Kathleen FerrierSee Blow the Wind Southerly. Ferrier was a famous Scottish classical singer and a favourite in Alex’s family. She died way too young. and much played at Alex’s home. and Peter, I know exactly what we’ll do for your theme music.

Forget about the Times and Y.M. We now have 2 bulletin boards devoted to you in the Library and even the Kinders know who you are. That is a measure of true fame.

I know it’s an impossible ask but I just wanted you to know we’re still thinking of you .

Take care and hang on.

Love,

Chris at BelmoreSydney School corresponding with Berri – Thanks for the huge honour – very sorry, but Dec 14 is out of the question without the Infinite Improbability Drive. Wot we ain’t got. Next term perhaps? Re the choir, being kids, I bet they find the fart in the song – it’s quite clear when Ferrier sings it and she had such a sense of humour that I bet she found it too.

300 metres to go…bloody current – we’re doing 6 through the water and 3.7 over the ground.

We’re over – finally! At 27/042130. Berrimilla is now in the Indian Ocean at 374312 S. WOOOOOHOOOO! Dr Wendy, one pace forward – March!

I’m now waiting until the sun gets up a bit further and I can set up the solar panel to drag it in and process it. The albatrossery once again fleetingly pink – bet you haven’t got any pink ones in the Bird Book, Peter!

KevinFleming, Kevin: manufacturer of stainless steel self steering device, aka KevvoStainless steel self steering device, built by Kevin Fleming, used on Berrimilla and countless others, used on Berrimilla and countless others; (Kevin Fleming, you're an absolute bloody gem! ) & Denise – there’s quite a bit of footage of KevvoStainless steel self steering device, built by Kevin Fleming, used on Berrimilla and countless others, altho it might be a bit difficult to extract – very hard to film in the really wild stuff but I’ll take a lot more from here. If your MerlinMerlin calculator still has its program, (which it has almost certainly lost) I’d love it please – I have been kindly offered another one that has definitely expired. Can’t believe you never used it!
