Provided that we do not have to make any significant course changes due to weather conditions, we passed our halfway point today. This event was celebrated in a low key way with the baking of a cake and the opening of a huge box of Lego for the monkeys. I say 'for the monkeys' but Seb and I dug into the Lego with just as much enthusiasm as Emma and Macsen. To round off the celebration Sebastiaan the Hairy decided to remove his beard as a show of gratitude and respect for Neptune (or perhaps to Odin and Thor). Emma is not at all keen on the smooth face of her Papa and wants him to grow it back immediately. Macsen just kept staring at him as though he wasn't quite sure.
