Diana blog day four

Stardate 13 November 2007 11:23 local time; 16 degrees 20 minutes north 034 degrees 30 minutes west, 1467 miles to go.

Steve woke us all up this morning with ice-cream cones and chocolate cake, it was delicious... and then I woke up, to find it dark and hot and a very light breeze! arrrghh!!

We are back to cruising along nicely again under the scorching sun and brilliant stars, feeling so very small pondering the intergalactic cosmos... the crew is keen on learning and have been giving it their all.

I did our rig check today and wish we had a proper crow's nest to just hang out up there and look across the great blue expanse. quite a spectacular sight (especially to see that we have horizoned minerva; as she was nowhere to be seen!)

Juno is our target for the moment as she is about 60 miles ahead. from all the crew of Diana, heeeelllllooooo out there!!! keep the text messages coming in and have the kettle on for my associates, (I'll have the cawfee and crawsawnts!).
