Flying fish and vegetarians

Well we had light winds and smooth sailing all the way from Tonga, performed a highly successful 'Man Overbooard' manouvre (the poor Kerosene bottle thought it had seen it's last days) and stopped again for a swim in the big blue with nothing but a couple of miles of water and several thousand deadly and largely unidentified creatures below us

Now I have to be honest and I say that I had some doubts about these London boys coming on board, and being a vegetarian and a largely vegetarian boat when Chis announced that he didn't really like vegetables I wondered how we'd all get on.... However, I am pleased to tell you all that not only did I see Chris voluntarily eat a piece of cucumber the other day, he has also promised me that he will never eat in KFC again, he did suggest that he might need some help and encouragement from his friends and family but I know he is an intelligent man and after seeing what he got these Fijian guys to help him carry home from the market the other day for his dinner preparations I don't think we have anything to worry about

So anyway, we have arrived in the land of friendly faces and fake flowers and a new and very masculine journey begins....

i would like to point out that there is a cat-o'-nine-tails on board so these decisions arent always as "voluntary" as they may seem
