Really sorry I've not updated you all in so long. It's been a bit of an interesting few days weather wise. Also a late happy Easter to everyone. It turns out that no one remembered to pack any Easter eggs for me but it wasn't the end of the world, because I've got more than enough chocolate and Mum challenged my brother Tom, sister Hannah and I to an egg decorating competition via emailed pictures. I'm not actually sure who the winner was in the end, but it certainly wasn't me!

Quick Update and Pictures
We're still not breaking any speed records, but Ella's Pink Lady is getting along reasonably well again. So all's well and the sun joined us again today which also did wonders for brightening my mood. It won't be long now till the high pressure system that's giving us these light winds, moves off and we get some decent wind to give us a nice shove along.

Sounds to me like someone spent the last five days searching every nook and cranny for those eggs.
I must admit I was a cynic when you first started out. How could a 16 year old chick go round he world in a pink boat?
Since then I have followed your trip, and progressively become a "fan", and am excited to know you are probably passing under Perth right about now. I am devo to know I probably won't be able to get to Sydney for your arrival, so the best I can do is to send you a "bloody well done".
I don't care if you even make it from here, or if someone else breaks your record as soon as you make it, what you have achieved is an inspiration to anyone.
Bravo chica!!
