I remember one year when I was delivering we got caught in a local low; big winds, storm trysail to broaching bare masted plus a sea anchor, then wallowing seas afterwards...that was when I was so sea sick, for about 8 hours. I wasn't the only one....etc. The Saki Tinis were a raving success (and it is only wine/rice wine so not so potent), as was "Black Friday" on the APPLE STORE re. Christmas..... Wonderful to have such a great chef on board in Danielle. Wishing I could have beamed myself there to be on the wheel, what fun. Now, have some fun in Antigua.

I guess you skipped Bermuda and good going on getting the diesel engine going via satelite phone, something we never used to have on board...Was it a local low over the gulf stream? (after the storm in the wallow), for about 8 hours. I wasn't the only one. We were given a European pill; one upper/one downer and I remember hallucinating designing brightly colored bracelets in my mind. Bravo for Pierre's initiation! You're making terrific time and now I do envy you the well deserved warm and sunny weather. Why are you coming in from the West? I'm headed East, just down the block to my neighbor's for a Thanksgiving meal. I'm taking SAKI-TIINIS=saki+lychee nuts. We'll toast to the crew of AVALANCHE, and yes, I'm walking home.
