around the world in 98 days

Friday 24th November 2006

12:28 p.m. CET Quite a busy night last night, and as has happened a few times recently it didn’t really get going until the last set. There were still several groups and couples in at the end, and I had three encores.

Earlier on I worked out that by the end of this contract I will have done 98 crossings, each crossing being 202 nautical miles, making a total of 19,796 nautical miles (36,662.19 km) that I will have travelled on the boat this year. That's only 3,346 km off the distance round the earth!

10:53 a.m. GMT A good night last night, thankfully free from drunken geriatrics and hecklers. No encores though.

I walked down to the beach again yesterday afternoon and took a couple of photos, which I have uploaded to my web-space.

Only one more round trip to go now…

11:27 a.m. Have just been reading the shipping forecast on-line again. It would appear that a city in the south-west has got bored of its position, and is having somewhat of a personality crisis…
