IN singapore

We set off on Jan 1st with some anxiety and a great fanfare from the Fremantle crowd. Appart from some illegal jostling at the start line off we went. It seems ages ago that we were counting the masts to ensure we were up with the crowd but soon the gamble of wind chasing left us following the pack. Nevertheless we had a good time. There are two watches and on balance we have a good crew whio are all different. The round the worlders have all wortked out a way of living together and know each other very well by now. I was on a watch with Angie another legger.The first few days wree SO tough gtrying to cope with the watch system of 4 hgours on and then off. I dread to think how many times I nodded whilst on at night. Then, everything settles down and a rhythm takes over. It is sometimes difficult to remember if your getting up for breakfast, supper or the afternoon. The sailing was failry straight forward and the time in Singapore interesting. My time slot is abouto expire so I'll catch up when I can.
