January 2nd

The food that we had brought for the trip has been abandoned and we have started in on the proper food contained in the daily ration packs.  Each one of these consists of 1 breakfast meal, 2 dinner meals, a large bar of chocolate, a packet of peanuts, biscuits and a cuppa soup.  Some people dont like all the items in the packs but I have no trouble finishing mine off......  The rowing was slower today due to flat seas.  We did hqve some night time visitors last nigth as a school of dolphins swam with us in the dark.
