Today the sun is shining once again and as I type this we are about 1 mile from half way - woohoo! So spirits are lifted and we're looking forward to our peach party tomorrow to celebrate the next milestone. Heading towards Mauritius again and although not breaking any speed records, it's good to be on the move in the right direction.

Lots of people have asked us if we're going to "find ourselves" out here. We weren't actually aware we were lost, but we have started to think about what the future might hold when we get home. Career options are a big one given that 3 out of 4 of us will be unemployed and skint. General behaviour on the boat has led to the following options coming to light....

Jo will make an excellent housewife. Washing, cooking, cleaning, a place for everything and everything in its place, and general wifely behaviour have led to the well earned name of Mrs Mop. Anyone in need of these excellent services should send their bids to amy@oceanangels.co.uk and arrangements will be made with the highest bidder.

Elin is going to start up courses in anger management. Whilst her methods might be slightly unorthadox - toilet paper is rationed until anger is expressed very loudly - they are highly effective and result in a laid back happy zoned out crew.

Sarah is starting her own 0898 line. No.... not what you're thinking. It's going to be her cheery chatline. No matter what your situation in life, she will put a positive spin on it and have you laughing along in minutes.

Fiona is going to start up the long planned firm "Bodge it and fix it". This has been brewing since the Atlantic and developed further in her flat, and most recently on board Pura Vida where tape and screwdrivers are the order of the day.

So a varied bunch who complement each other nicely we think. If all else fails we'll just have to row another ocean!
