Dear Jo, lovely blog. Any chance of emailing some slightly higher res copies of these photos which are really excellent.
It was fantastic to see you at the event and risking AWOL was worth it! Love Tot and Peter

Hi Jo, the usual very interesting blog - many thanks. Standards must have slipped in the Merchant Navy - feet on the desk and civvy clothes!
I have just been speaking with an old friend here who is off to the Antarctic in December repairing buildings and museums. He is working hard getting fit and has a practice session on an old nissan hut in North Wales later this summer. If you come across Joe Leavy from near Brecon, buy him a pint on me.
Lots of love Peter (and Tot)

Great photos and Dylan looks a natural nautical type.
Lots of love from Tot and Peter

should be a bit warmer and more comfortable than a Laser II on Loch Ken in Galloway! Mind all those gin palaces when coming into moor up, especially if Dick is on the helm. Love Tot and Peter.

WowJO,

You have said when down in the South Atlantic you will be out of comunication range for a while why is that? Best wishes. Mick.

Hi Jo,
Brilliant blog and photos. Is the boat more about getting impressive landscape shots of bergs etc than science?!
I have just spoken to Mick and he is similarly impressed.
Look after yourself, love from Tot and Peter.

I really don't know how you have the time, let alone the energy, to keep this thing up to date. It takes me all my time to read it all! And, YES, I'm still jealous!

But then I am a simple sailor!

This looks so beautiful - even the foggy one!

I wish I was there too, instead of sitting working in my office...

Ah, the 4 to 8 watch, unless times have changed. That was my favourite. Never got past being a Midshipman though...

Wow! What a trip. It's a joy to read your account. Enjoy the rest of your vacation, and safe journey home. PS I agree with you about Sydney and Barcelona - but wouldn't like to put them in an order of preference!

glad you had such a great time. really enjoyed your blog so far, particularly the one of you bungeeing. was a little concerned tho', as the guy on the platform looked like he was saying something like "nooooooo, we haven't tied you in yet.....ah shit!!", however, you managed to arrive in welly in one piece so whatever he thought was wrong, you obviously survived to tell the tale.

well, it's autumn here now, more or less, so sunny and fresh, at about 17 degrees - perfect for me. once it gets rainy and dank i might persuade my husband to take me to raro!!! fancy that hostel of yours.

looking forward to the aussie instalments. great stuff. xx
