Stock Market Prices for Rare Items

Well... Moving to our 12th day of sailing since we left La Rochell,
appreciation for mundane daily things are climbing. The perceived stock
price of some items in particular are increasing for me each day:
- Tiolets that flush properly. (PLEASE... Blockage is a horror story,
smelly, filthy, time consuming, and unfortunately happening every other
day) - £100 daily
- A proper toilet flush, not a manual pump - £30 daily
- Showers... (God, I will surely be thankful for every morning shower I
will have from now on) - £50 per shower
- A good meal: a juicy medium-rare steak, fresh salad to go with it
(with plum tomatoes and mustard souce please), a glass of chilled
Muscad, and a huge bowl of fresh fruit salad with vanilla ice cream, and
a glass of port wine to top the meal up... - £200 (as we have have ran
out of fresh veggies and fruit a few days ago, I started to realise how
much I miss them)
- Sleeping through a complete night in a silent place, preferably stable
as well - £200 per night
I realise that I cannot afford to ask for more:) I think I can endure
washing 2-3 pieces of shirts in sea water during our mother watch every
9 days, that's not too bad :)

Otherwise, great day of sailing. We are now enjoying the nice stable,
strong trade winds, and moderate ocean swells all pushing us in the
right direction. We had another lovely night, almost full moon lighting
the night, glimmering on the ocean. Good 20-25 knots of breeze... And a
very enthusiastic school of dolphins jumping as high as deck level,
keeping us in company at a point of time. Having another bright day
dawn, and blessed with still strong winds of 15-25knots. Enough to keep
us busy and concetrated, yet not too demanding

We had good concetration in the team, which paid back with another
strong milage record versus the fleet, bringing us another increase in
our position, now we are ranking 5th. Slowly getting there:)

Also we had a pampering day with bread rolls in breakfast, and a slice
of freshly cooked bread per person during evening! Awsome treats from
the mother watch today. I literally burried mine in Nutella and enjoyed
both with the joy of a kid recieving a present.

Will keep you posted
Keep an eye on me:)
