Got tears in my eyes when I read this entry.

If anyone can live up to the challenges of this expedition, it is our beloved bearded foursome - even if for the moment they seem to have parallel parked on the Atlantic.

  2. Hi Andrey - Buoyweather indicates 4 - 7 knots over the next few days. I hope they are writing their diaries, would like to know how they deal with the passive monster of "no wind".

    но4ь (no4')= ночь = night
    The Russian letter of "ч" is often designated in a transliteration as "4".

    With much respect!

  4. Thank you noctua - I'll fix it and look out for но4ь (no4') in future.

    Please let me know if you spot any other mistakes - I appreciate it very much and am learning all the time :)
