BORED

4 degrees 59 minutes south,99 degrees 40 minutes west. Yes, I know, we haven't gone that far since the last post. That's because there's NO WIND. The sea was like a mirror two days ago. No kidding. It's going to take us forever to get there at this rate! Will have to start being extra conservative with water soon - no washing my hair for a while (maybe I should get dreads like C? Would stop my hair falling out all the time too - latest odd place a strand of long blond hair was found was in the engine compartment...)
I'm SO BORED. It's like being a little kid, when you're too bored to do anything. I'm making some cushions for the cockpit out of an old life jacket, trying to read a book in German and have learnt how to play Gin Rummy, but it's no good. It's still dull, and there's no getting away from the fact that there's 2340 miles still to go. And there's no getting away from Stuart (the skipper) or C either. Tensions have been a wee bit frayed the last couple of days - probably because we're all SO BORED (and because C has failed to catch any fish for days too!).
Right, sun's nearly up - nearly the end of my watch!!
More soon

PS yup, we do get lovely sunsets on the boat (although they tend to be cloudier than during the days) but...you get a bit blase about sunsets/rises when you see this many of them! We were sailing with another boat for a few days, but they've gone a different way to us now, so it's just us...haven't seen another vessel for at least 2 days now...
