Re: Mile building boat dilivering from Barsolona to cyprus 1700 miles

Just to add
The trip took 12 days 13 nights, I think over 7 bottles of bicardi and a few beers, with around 30 hours in Malta and an emergancy stop of 1.5 hours in create for bicardi.
Roger can cook like a chef with only a minor egg loss in sever gails with pans gimberling to vertical, I can make and serve 4 cardi n cokes in the same conditions (tip use pegs to fastern your glasses together while on a none slip mat).
I did tell the crew that the cockpit was a dry one based on past experiance we found this like the 8.5 knots was not true at best a cold salty wash now and again at worst a white wave comming over the stern and filling the cockpit these events as said by Ian was not in the brosher and did effect the taste of all berverages.
All in all a grate trip untill I ran out of fule but thats a common event for me (tip if you fastern your dingey to to stern a 2.3hp will replace a 82hp and do 2 knots)

Thanks to all
Regards Robert Evans
