hi vivienne,
was'nt friday just amazing.i never expected it to be
that interesting.
when i left school i had no idea about this volvo
boat race but now im more interested to find out more.how could those guys
survive like that makes me think how much they really love their sport and
how passionate they are about it.why can't we be more like that about
somethings.its amazing how these boats become relied on by these men who
leave their families behind.i hope they fixed that mast and could have a
better leg of the race.i bet with a little bit of pray,love and some four
leave clovers they are sure to win and all my luck goes to them.
i wo
uld've really liked to try some traditional
irish food but unfortunatly duty called.i hope you enjoyed yourself as much
as i did and you should come around for a real visit so that we can give you
some real south afrcan food that could explore every taste bud of yours.
hope to see you soon

hi vivienne
friday was very interesting... we really did enjoyed
ourselves and we really learnt alot .
i don't think i will be able to survive on a yaucht
for nine months without NORMAL FOOD and no washing but before we heard
all t
hat i really thought that it was interesting and fun for them who works
so hard on and off the yaucht .
some of the very interesting things was what the
yaucht was made of and how big and how high the the boat is. i was
suprised to here that there was no prize money involved but when i
heard they were only doing it because it is an honour to be part of the race
was only then able to see they are really passionate about racing so i hope
they do well in the other legs of the race
unfortunately we were not able to have some of your
traditional food but we are looking foward to having some another time
good luck
