A new religion?

Sunday, the day of rest, was spent stripping layers of skin off our hands with some very toxic cleaning fluids.

Now that the end is just round the corner we have switched the nav system to VMG – velocity made good. This is the most effective course to take from any position the boat is at and offers an optimum path, rather than just trying to get the highest speed which, according to Dobby, hit over 14 knots, though there is debate over the validity of this. It was probably 14 knots heading due east knowing the house elf ;)
