Almost There

It is with great excitement that I communicate this update. Lee, Sasha and Kwela are almost there. Both ladies are very tired; physically as they are working extremely hard in very difficult winds, emotionally because they realize how close they really are and mentally because they can relax as they have finally reached a place where they know they are safe and should anything happen, they can easily be rescued. The wind situation is the same as always, it is either blowing straight into their face and causing them to beat into the wind, or the wind is so calm that they have to manually steer the boat all day long.

Don’t worry, soon they will see and smell the sweet shore of Australia. They are a bit concerned that they are travelling too far north too quickly, but it should not pose any major hassles.

Their position as of last night was 34S 111E with a total of approximately 450 nautical miles to the end.

Lee is definitely getting ready to hit land as I received a shopping list of information to supply – size of running shoes, colour of foundation, colour of lip liner and eye liner pencils etc. Clearly Lee’s brain has ticked over to the fact that soon they are going to be on land and somewhere close by is going to be the Nirvana of most women – a shopping mall and retail therapy.

Unfortunately, that’s it for the news. As soon as I have more, I will pass it on.
