Beach Party

The 1st leg was always going to be hard as everyone gets used to the lifestyle of not sleeping for more than a couple of hours at a time, not washing, physical exhaustion and seasickness (fortunately I managed to escape that one). The rewards are huge and its such a unique and special experience. I have so much to learn about sailing but I have another 35 000 miles to work on my helming! I am stronger than I have ever been already and probably bigger than ever as am eating so much to keep energy levels up!There is a lot of laughter on board which bodes well. I have only managed to read 3 lines of my book which gives you some idea of how intense it all is! Its good to have a couple of nights on land to catch up on sleep before we are off again.
