Thursday 5th August

Greetings Landlubbers (Definition, someone not on a boat!),

After a rocky wet night both Alice's rose crippled by constipation and those
lucky few in the forepeak sodden de to drippy hatches. Breakfast was served
in 5* fashion by Dory watch which consisted of scrambled egg, 2cms of
baguette and half a frankfurter. This however ended up everywhere due to
Chloe's emergency 360° gybe which led to breakfast, juice and people
scattered/splashed everywhere. On the plus side both Alice's constipation
was now relieved. After Nic & Nikki flew around whilst washing up due to
rare rough seas nap time was enjoyed by all, well except by those who were
on watch.

Food supplies short, pasta bake for lunch (again) unfortunately for Emily.W
a bowl of cornflakes was all that could be consumed. Washing up done again
by Nic & Nikki however this time made much more excitable by a few squares
of chocolate and some jollyfull songs.

Yippee! The sun kindly got his hat out and the crew got there legs out,
which for some was quite shocking due to the forest of hair that was present
everywhere! After a good 2 hours of not moving a jellyfishing rod was
created using a spare coat hanger and a sheet, to the delight of many it was
a success! A jellyfish had been caught, yup indeedie a real Jellyfish;
gloopy, splatter like and containing many tentacles. Later on, skip got out
his guitar and everybody joined in for a sing song on the afterdeck.
Meanwhile Stef had successfully plucked her eyebrows and due to the lack of
wind, helming was proving a challenge for Emily. On Rona II 4 o'clock means
CAKE O'CLOCK!! Nommyliscous carrot cake was created by Jenny & glomped by
all within seconds.

Currently bobbing around just off Hartlepool which is proving very
chucklesome and everyone has huge grins on their faces J. Off into port to
wait for the locks to open and let us in, being greeted and escorted by a
guns ship. And luckily for us Hannah's fiancé is buying dinner for all! YAY!

Much love to all you Landlubbers, over and out, Love all the crew on Rona II
