Today started with a chorus of “HAPPY BIRTHDAY STEVE, 52 TODAY”. Peter wanted to let him off all duties today, but Jo and I decided we weren’t allowing that.
After the opening of cards, presents and many photographs we settled into our daily routine. We had light winds. cloudy and unfortunately had to resort to engine power to make any way. Meanwhile Jo secretly made a birthday trifle. After our showers and sunset photographs of us on the bow Steve was banished to the cockpit to enjoy a beer, whilst Jo and I festooned Peter’s immaculate saloon with birthday tableware, paper cups bearing lollipops, balloons and streamers, then sat down to enjoy Jo’s meal of steak, mash potatoes, broccoli, onion sauce followed by the fruit trifle - excellent.
It was enough to be on a beautiful boat sailing to the Galapagos on Steve’s birthday, but this certainly made it a special day for him thanks to Jo and Peter.
