Happy birthday Guy! Hope you party on re hydrated meals and energy drinks! Or has the sweetie store been raided! I am watching the weather forecast and wishing you both favourable winds and sea. It seems a good time to remind people that although A & G want people to sponsor Orchid, they are still needing to fund raise to cover the cost of this venture. It would be nice to watch the sponsorship total for them start rising as they battle the weather! All we have to do is click on the home page of there website. Or click here: http://www.indianoceanrace.com/sponsors.php Something else to keep an eye on each time we log in!
