In the matter of Fresh Water and Team Manali Day 21.

170 miles out. Thinking about mangoes, a shower, mojitos, a shower, marinara, a shower. Have we mentioned that the fresh water has been reserved for drinking and cooking only? And we’ve been at sea for 21 days and 21 nights. Think about that. Actually, it’s been a grand opportunity to have an extended sea salt spa therapy supplemented by the odd rain shower. No expensive scrubs for this lot. Just throw your legs overboard out the back and have a splash. Skins glowing, never been healthier. Finally got to the bottom of Ian’s unexpected slow recovery from his cut leg – he was putting Athletes’ Foot cream on the infected wound instead of the antiseptic cream. It was the boat’s fault for rocking about and mixing up the tubes in his bag.
