Weather warning!! It's coming from the North and gonna blow hard. We're shooting just this one more line and running away. Well, hardly running. With all this gear out the back and not retrieving it we'll make 4.5kn. A brisk walk away you could say. Still though, we gotta go. The skippers talkin' 60-70kn winds and 12m seas. 12m!! Thats uh....lemme sea......39.3696 ft!! 4 floors/storeys or not far off. We just spent about an hour after dinner (Happy Thanksgiving Canada) taping down monitors that are already bolted and bungy corded, stowing loose stuff and general tidy up. Should hit us tomorrow arvy, so lunch tomorrow could be the last proper meal a lot of us eat for a while. At least 24 hours anyway. It'll be toast and rice even if the cookies do manage get something together.

Apart from that all's well. Had a fince Thanksgiving Canada meal today. Roast beef for breakfast (prime rib roast mmmmmm.....) and pork and plaice for dinner with pumpkin pie. Mmmmmmmmm....

Have I mentioned it's cold out? Stefan has spent about as much time as I have outside....9 minutes in the past week. What are rickets like, must look it up again.....
