January 4th

Woke today and did a much needed cleanup of the boat.  Our arrival has caused a bit of a stir here and we have had plenty of visitors over to the boat all day.  The town itself is a small fishing town with a huge wall at the outskirts to keep the Sahara desert out,  mad!  The boat is in good shape now and the crew is stqrting to knot well.  Maybe the 3 days at sea were q blessing in disguise and exactly what we needed.  We leave tomorrow to start the trip.  Am off now for a final night of comfortable sleep in a real bed before a month of sharing cabin space with 5 other delightfully smelling gents.

  1. Good luck Rob. Glad to hear you guys are underway. I have taken "the pledge" till you finish so bear that in mind and row fast!!!
    First day back at work yesterday which was the beginning of a tough journey too. I'll keep posting until such a time as you lose your sense of humour. A daily dose if you will!!
