Sushi & Sailing

Last night while we were all watching the All Blacks getting the Bledisoe Cup back for New Zealand, the crew apparently caught 2 tuna. Sam has taken to sending the messages rather than Russell and they are even more undecipherable because he runs everything into a single word. Tonight's was a real beaut:

OK, so this translates as:
The sweepstake for the ETA (that's where everyone puts in $5.00 to predict the ETA and then the winner puts the money on the bar on arrival for drinks) closed at 1900. Sam says that it will be 1430 on August 3rd. The tuna was made into sushi and either this was awesome, or more likely the sailing is awesome, thumbs up. They are apparently barrelling along at between 6.5 and 7.5 knots so probably awesome sailing.

I think Sam is wildly optimistic with a 3rd August arrival time, probably because he wants to get home and get started on the house and driveway. Our pick is 1000 on 5th August, but we will see. The weather is looking favourable for the next few days so fingers crossed otherwise, it is more likely to be 7th or 8th.
