Position 0630 22nd 4314 12913, trip 118, DMG 110 – mildly astonishing given the meanderings and wobbly winds but there we are. If we can keep 5 kts on the clock we should make Maatsuuyker by Sunday. Not too hopeful at this stage. Groupama will be a green flash beyond our southern horizon in the next 24 hours or so.
Young, black on top and white faced albatross still around and a smaller one – looks like a black brow but isn't – and prions all over the place.
I've just been asked to do a short article for the Friends of the Pitt Rivers Museum newsletter – a bunch of readers whose towering erudition leaves me quaking and awestruck – long story but to do with the alcohol token, a coin substitute, that has been accepted from my sister by the PRM. Odd though because I once shared a house with someone who later became quite respectable and went off to Oxford to become the Director (don't know his proper title) of the PRM, which up till I learned about his appointment I had never heard of. Circles in the sand.
