Day 11 - Puma in heads drama
Can it get any worse??
Upwind all the way to Muckle Flugga, go past rock, head south, and by jingo, the wind is on the nose again! It saw us coming!
Latest statistics from the yacht:
Number of dinners left: 2
Amount of loo roll left: Nil
Number of books left: 1/4 of a 200 pager
Number of toilets (heads) working: 0!!!
Number of winch handles left: 1
Number of buckets left: 1
Number of medivacs 1
Number of crew needing to get back to work on Monday 4!
Amount of dry clothes left 0
The crew are in good spirits still but the loss of the use of the loo has seriously dropped morale. Some of the crew are risking using the heads taking a bucket of water with them, others are using the traditional method of bucket and chuck it, but the brave are using the opportunity to get some sunlight to those areas that normally remain in darkness, and are using the transom!
