We are close, page-46

Yeah certainly no earth shattering stuff happening here at the moment - we deep in the doldrums with not even the gentle tink of the halyard bouncing of the mast to count out the day... and so much boredom! ... nothing even to look at but blue on blue.... its driving us all a little dilly .... what can any of us say that hasn't been said - thank you @blokes for at least trying to keep moral up; but lets be honest waiting for the wind to pick up is as much fun as pulling teeth ....
To those old travelers that have bailed overboard to save off madness, jump in again whenever you can... there is plenty room on this boat for those who have sailed before with us .... as you know we are heading slowly albeit surely down to the roaring 40's... where both man and boat are going to be tested so we certainly need all the old sea dogs who know this vessel aboard to help bring us home...
