I understand Don's gout problem as I suffer from the same complain. I can not imagine even considering drinking less than three litres of water a day. I visualise then going about their tasks and imagine then occupying their various areas of the boat. But having to break into this imagine to work out which Dave is which is a downer. I just hope that in the book and the video/film of this reenactment that the narrative is equally considerate with the use of 'W' and 'Q'.<br /><br />Concerning the font size, I only raised it in a 'Comment' as the web master has not had the courtesy to provide a mechanism for providing feedback. The entry has been corrected and I do feel aggrieved that such a trivial issue had to pass before a member of the 'Bounty Boat' crew. They have much more serious issues to occupy their time. They are doing an almost unimaginable job, in massively fatiguing conditions, and then the person who is supposed to be supporting them in this endeavour isn't even concerned enough to present their effort in a clear and correct manner. I consider myself an IT professional and find the lack of care with the presentation and spelling unprofessional and borderline incompetent.Davidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03124641341034498178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5853521447761375706.post-45909038665664001482010-06-04T06:39:45.098+10:002010-06-04T06:39:45.098+10:00just checked the position chart @ 2135 UK time (0...just checked the position chart @ 2135 UK time (0635 Sydney) - they are right in the middle of four large reefs - must have hove-to overnight - at least it must now be getting into the dawn.

I reckon you must have an awesome life if those are problems to you. These guys are spending days wet, cold, hungry and miserable for the cause of MND and they aren't complaining. Don't you think that is awesome compared to us in our lounge rooms having a little trouble reading their blog???
