    What an amazing adventure. I’m very jelly.

    Why are you doing this at what seems to my landlubber mind the worst time of year?

  10. Ah, ok. I assumed you were doing something like Bristol to Boston, but Canaries to the Caribbean seems marginally more sensible!

  15. If you run out of food it’s a tradition to draw straws on who the rest of the crew eat, well allegedly they draw straws. However it’s more likely the least liked is eaten first. I know there’s only 2 of you so just sleep with one eye open when the food runs low.
     
  16. Thanks for the heads up...he's bigger than me, and stronger, will take my cattle tranquilizer....

  18. I wish you calm seas and fair winds young man!

    Remember if the GPS packs up, "head south until the butter melts and turn right".

    Goodluck.
