PS. Anyone who does that North Sea stuff, particularly through multiple winters, is a mentalist
Is a mentalist also a person who does more than one winter in the USSR? In that case most of your readers are mentalists and the others are just mental...(exempt me of course!)
Back to the main course...Mumbai to Fla.....has anyone actually checked whether it's quicker east or west-about? I mean timewise, because of travelling downwind east quite slowly, or ploughing into wind VERY slowly westward bound?
