MERRY CHRISTMAS FROM G'TON

Merry christmas wherever you are in the world!! It's bloody hot here!! Wish i could skype or something but there is nowhere open with internet, so all i
have is my boat email.
First night sleep back on the boat after saying goodbye to mum and dad and the luxury accomodation with air-con that came with them! Through the night I
came to realise that the boat bunks are not designed for a normal nights sleep (ie over 3 hours at a time) or for someone who isn't exhusted when they fall
into them!! Not really a normal xmas so far..... Woke up for about the 50th time this morning and decided enough was enough so got up and went for a run
with one of the other guys in the crew. Bad move - it must have been at least 30 degrees already at 0915hrs!! Have never sweated so much in all my life!
Nearly died!! Cooled off and washed my running clothes with a swim in the indian ocean before unwrapping my presents from mum and dad while the couple of
other crew that are staying on board opened theirs too. - Thanks mum and dad - It wouldn't be christmas without chocolate for breakfast/brunch!! :) Then it
was off for a shower in the plastic portable showers before cereal and warm yogurt for lunch! So, so far not very christmasy but we have a clipper BBQ and
drinks this afternoon which should be fun and is likely to get a bit messy!! Ahhhhh good times!
Right time to move i'm seriously sticking to this nav station seat!! Thinking of you all either freezing your butts off up in the northern hemisphere or
having a slightly warmer time but not as warm as me back home in kiwi land.
Miss you! Wish I was there. Hugs, Kisses and MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
