              ^Good to hear, hoping for a less "eventful" rest of the journey.

                In the article’s comments: “This is orca-nized crime”🤦‍♂️

                Glad you have no damage G&P. Safe travels - no doubt Vessel Finder is seeing a significant uptick on Sakura tracking just now.

                            Eat at restaurants when we can or if they look good. We have a very decent galley. See below.

                            Breakfasts are usually fruit, yoghurt, muesli, toast cheese, meats....Lunch, a subset of the brekkie. Dinner is salad or pasta of some sort. Overnight stuff is chocolate, chocolate, nuts and more chocolate....

                                  @Giles Do a hard right wait two minutes and the pull a hard left…tell everyone you were just checking the integrity of the rudder. 🙂
