So to Jessica - Happy Birthday, I hope you have a fantastic day and wish I could be with you. I'm sure those parents of yours will be spoiling you rotten. Given this, I am sure you won't even notice that I haven't sent your present. Rest assured it is here on board with me and I'll get it to you at New Year.To Caitlin - my amazing little girl. I'd give my left arm to be back for the day - but I'll be home soon and you can show me all your new tricks. If there is any way you could hold off from walking until I do get back, then that would be great. Have an excellent day and make sure everyone spoils you too. Like they don't already.
All my love to the two of you - I'll raise a wee toast to you both in the bar tonight.
Chris with the birthday girlsAll is good on board the good ship lollipop as Patricia seems to think it is called. The sea has certainly picked up and last night was a lesson in how to sleep while being thrown about in a slow but very firm way. One moment being pressed into my mattress, then next feeling as if I am barely touching it. Temperature has dropped, it is raining for the first time since leaving the UK and there is no question we are moving somewhere colder and wilder.
Rougher seas, no more blue sky, but plenty of bird life for company. This albatross is in its element.
That's all for now. I need to stop focusing on a small screen for a few moments and look at the horizon! Comments (below) now possible and it would be great to hear from you all.

This world wide web thing has made global communication all a bit easy. It makes the good ship lollipop all sound a bit cosy and nice. I want stories of scurvy and gangrene(not yourself obviously) and mutiny.Ernest Shackelton being taken over by the "tweed jacket with leathertte elbow patches" gang. Not very catchy I know but scientists eh? And instead of email how about message in a bottle or writing in permanent marker on an albatross and pointing it towards UK. Anyway now I have worked out this blogging malarky expect many more ramblings from your bro.Oh and if you manage to get a picture of a penguin wearing a Rossnowlagh 2006 t shirt I'll give you a Time frame and forks. (no obvious sedation allowed) That'll keep you busy.
Happy Birthday to Caitlin and Jessica. Love to you both and Caitlin I'll see you very soon and Jessica I hope soon as well.
Andrew hang in there,glad its all going well and I'll go and tell himself all about your adventures this afternoon.
Alastair.
Followed your progress daily (lucky you) and please bring me home a penguin or 2!! Hope you're home to the gang for Christmas.
A Joan
