I do not have much news to share with everyone this morning. There latest position (yesterday) is 38.03S 23.06E. They apparently need to get further south than they currently are so that they can pick up decent winds.
I think a bit of homesickness has set in, or my messages are not reaching Lee as I was “moaned” at yesterday for not sharing anything with her. I will sort this out today and ensure that she gets our messages.
For those that are enquiring, Lee’s blog is http://leesodyssey.blogspot.com. I will be updating the blog over this weekend and all further updates sent via email will also be posted here.
The other blog that has more info about the actual route and their current position is the one that belongs to the originator of this journey and it’s skipper – Sasha. The blog is http://sailingsash.blogspot.com.
I would like to thank everyone for the responses I get from you. I forward all of the messages onto Lee, either verbally or via the communications system. However, I apologize to all for the fact that I do not personally respond to everyone’s comments and questions. I receive approximately 15 – 20 replies every day and do not have the time to respond individually. Please know that it is appreciated and taken to heart.
With regards to the questions I have received about why the story (departure) was not in the newspaper, I can only surmise the following:
The original story appeared in both the Local Fish Hoek Echo and the Argus the week prior to their departure. I know that the story around the departure was written and submitted. I supplied the photos that were supposed to accompany the article. However, the photos were not suitable in meeting the paper’s requirements, and hence the story was not printed.
Have a fabulous day further. Until tomorrow.
