Nearing landfall
19 Jun 2009
Well here we still are rowing away towards Mauritius. You might have noticed that we have slowed down slightly - more pesky roadworks. You know the ones - 10 miles of cones on the M4 down to one lane with absolutely nothing going on the other side of them. No strong wind, no rough seas, just the Indian Ocean doesn't want us to get there quite yet. However we're hoping we've just reached sight of the national speed limit sign where it all starts to speed up again and we'll be there before we know it. Which brings me onto our song...
This may be a little premature as we probably have a good 2 weeks left, but we've been dreaming of ways to make the 12 days to landfall more bearable. It goes something like this... to the tune of 12 days of Christmas
