The Day According to Bam…
The day consisted of fixing the heads (3 times), having to go to the liaisons house to machine some new reefing pulley bearings, getting back at 10pm, missing the crew party & having about an hour in the waking day to myself. I have decided that I hate the heads so much that I have to get up early in the morning because there aren’t enough hours in the day to hate the heads. I hate the heads so much that it gave me energy. How was the party guys?
The Same day according to others…
We began the day in true Rona style cleaning up the boat and making her look pretty dressing the top sides with flags and banners, we managed to block up the heads in no time leaving us with only the shore as an option…we didn’t tell Bam who did it…he’ll never let it go. After another lovely breakfast with fresh bacon, eggs and milk, we had shore leave and some toured the city, others rested, read books or chatted to our new neighbours on Fazisi
A Night at Cheers Bar
Today was the first main crew party where the crews from all the boats were invited to Cheers bar in central Boston. The bar was very busy when we arrived and the Russian crew of Kruzenstern made up majority of bar. There was a buffet which consisted of chicken wings and more chicken wings. After some time at Cheers we dispersed to different bars around the city. The under 21’s had difficulty getting into any of the bars but a good time was had by all in the end.

I have followed your progress on the internet. You are doing very well in the race. One of your goals to do in Boston was to leave a legacy - well you certainly did. Lets see: sand and palm trees on the dock and a party right outside the Commander First Coast Guard Distict One head quarters. I will be hearing about that for some time. I have also heard from other volenteer's at Sail Boston that Ronna II was considered one of the best vessels to visit Boston. No you can't have your tea back. It was a pleasue working with Rona II and her crew. If all goes well, I will see Ronna II back in Boston in nine years (if I don't move to N. Ireland). Ronna II is a great vessel with a wonderful crew
