Day 10 – Casamara Spa Day!

Spa Day

Day 10 and the well-fed crew of Casamara decide on a Spa Day…….

Hi Everyone,

Well we achieved half way and rather than celebrate with a big meal as the rest of the fleet appear to have done (we have a big meal everyday) my crew decided to treat the skipper to a SPA DAY.  This involved filling the hot tub behind the wheel (A discovery 55 unique feature) and being treated to a MANICURE AND PEDICURE (with industrial nail files) tomatoes over the eyes and a facial.  See picture below.

On the sailing front we are now on to mark three of the whisper pole set up devised by Iain and Charlie, which seems to be working well.  We have gybed once and now on a course of 297 degrees.  We have seen no other yachts but heard from Island Wanderer.

The only other information to report is that the crew have now discovered that I use the forward heads under cover for a particular procedure!!!! Charlie and I are on watch from 12 -3am – last night was relatively windy up to 28 knots so hoping for a quieter watch! Apparently it was very bumpy for those trying to sleep – sorry. SP

Hi everyone, yes Skippers Day today to celebrate the half way mark.  He has had lots of pampering during the spa day, as you can see! (and well deserved too)!  The crew had decided, that due to his outstanding leadership so far, it was the least we could do and his great sense of humour and huge sense of fun, has allowed us to post the attached!

I have a night off tonight, because Simon and Charlie are cooking, so am sitting chatting looking forward to our party night supper.  I did do the cake though today as promised and that will be our desert. I will let you know Fi (my wife) what the boys think, but it’s looking good so far!

For lunch we finished off the Dorado fillets that we had left over from yesterday and I poached them in white wine, with lemon and parsley (delicious) accompanied by a mixed leaf salad.

So back to the half way mark spa party and look forward to regaling you with (some of) the inevitable stories tomorrow! JK
