Dear Philip, Nick and Crew
Having been away ourselves for three weeks (Bhutan
and the Andaman Islands!) we were delighted to get
back and see that you have some more crew and that
the carpenter has been and gone. We are so
pleased that you are now on the way again and wish
you all the best for the voyage. Although we had
just completed a 30 hour homeward journey we
managed to make it to The Sailors Return yesterday
so caught up with the 'locals' - present landlady
leaving on the 2nd November - I wonder how many
more we will have before you set foot in Chaldon
again? Merryn is getting settled in Cairo
although at the moment she is attending a Sufi
Music Festival in the desert!
Take care all of you.

Hi all,
It seems I can't
leave you on your own for five minutes and you get
into all sorts of trouble. A little excitement
gets the adrenalin going.
I noticed that
when you all were driving to visit the pyramids I
was driving my desk "green green"!!!!!
Things busy here
but coping.
Have you found
Eric's trigger word yet, I would love to see that,
any speculation as to what the old colonial may
change into?
I hope things
have quietened down a little, am thinking of you
all and wishing I was still aboard.
Have a great sail
down to Aden.
Doug

Hi Kim, Sounds like a wonderful once in a life time
experience, I know you and Ann are missing one
another, but you will be home soon. As Collin
mentions, the weather here means you have been away
at the right time. Carol and I are looking forward
to your safe return. And to hear all the details and
see some pictures. Take care and enjoy,
Lots of love Max and Carol P.S. We get married

Hi Bro,
I have been following the voyage closely. Enough action for any one man in
any one week. Try not to bump into any more
navigational hazards. Good luck and God speed. Look
forward to seeing you whenever. Emily is safe in your
back yard. Weather here sucks!! All my best to all
aboard.

Another great adventure. I’m looking forward to
following along through the website. Just keep an eye
on Eric. When we were in college together, we went to
see a hypnotist perform at a local night club. Eric
was chosen out of the crowd to be the ‘assistant’ and
was put under. To this day certain words can set him
off and he turns into a…well, I guess you’ll see for
yourselves soon enough.
All
the best.

WOW! We've been watching your progress carefully, and
have had little updates from Rachel, Mike, but have
only just discovered the ship's Log. What a terrifying
time you've been having, sounds like you've been
sailing by the seat of your pants...
WELL DONE for getting as far as you have, we know it
has not all been according to plan, but you are still
making history. It's an amazing journey to even think
of, never mind make.
Best wishes from all the Meynells: Alice, Acky, Hugo,
Doune, Ruth and Arthur.
(Rachel is well and cheerful Mike, we're taking good
care of her!)

I heard about this project on Radio 4 -
it has captured my imagination and I am following your
progress with great interest. I hope your sail to
Yemen is successful and that "Phoenicia" will continue
to go from strength to strength. Good luck.

I have seen
the latest photograph of Phoenicia on the web site. She
looks really beautiful with the ceremonial sail. I wish
you all "Good Luck" and "Bon Voyage." and hope the tow
goes smoothly without too many difficulties.

Wishing you all the best for the voyage. Tamar and I
