Day 265: Cocos Keeling Islands to Mauritius – 28/09/10

What can I say?  The nightmare continues.  More squally rain and wind with no let up in sight.  The sea sick feeling of the first day has not made a return appearance although the bucket is still within reach outside in the cockpit – just in case.  I have the low grade constant headache though, caused by my neck continually bobbing around as we get heaved around the boat.

If it weren’t so bloody annoying, food preparation would be amusing.  Things keep moving across the worktop as the boat lurches, to all intents and purpose making it seem like we have a very mischievous poltergeist on board.

The forecasts make it look like this could continue until the weekend.  If I haven’t gone stark raving bonkers by then it will be a miracle.

 

Our position is:  15 deg 56 min S, 91 deg 36 min E

Distance so far:  14363 nautical miles
