Built for Comfort and for Speed
On my last trip I heaved on an extra 2 stone... sounds grim but when you have Christmas before the start of the race it's very easy to get trifled up! Amazingly both Mum and I lost 2 1/2 stone. We were super slim when we stepped off the boat in Barbados.
So yes, it's that time again and the Rowgirls need no encouragement to pile on some extra pounds. I 'm pleased to annouce that I've popped on a couple of extra kilos already, as Skipper I feel I should lead by example. In fact I didn't bat an eyelid when I tucked into my second roast dinner of the day last weekend!
The thinking is that it's easier to carry fat than food. We need to consume 6000 calories a day and that's a awful lot of chocolate! On the last trip quite a lot of the grim high calorie dehydrated food went overboard so we created our own yummy recipes....
Cress Con Carne - Chilli with boat grown cress.
Crash - Cress with Mash
Sally's Rice - Rice delicately flavoured with curry powder, a chicken stock cube and 6 sultanas.
Chocolat Moooose - Chocolate Mouse!
The month of nausea and vomiting did a world of good for my figure! But we're going to have to get the food right this time. Why Mum and I took Soya Vegetable Risotto I do not know! All I dreamed about was a proper curry and a can of pineapple chunks.
Here's to good food, Christmas dinner at sea and coming back slim.
Off to trough,

Is the 'date a rowgirl' campaign going to change to 'lift a rowgirl if you can'?
May your bottoms be great.
