Pennypinchers

Pennypinchers.........................it envelopes our lives.

I just can't get rid of them. Well the mannetjie is going to St Helena too. Pennypinchers (thanks Theodore and Johan) has given us a few Bucks. Not much, but is all helps.

We have spent it on a video cam to shoot footage for the guys making a movie on the Race (Supersport Feb next year). Also on some branded Banjo clothes and the rest was used to buy airtime for the Satphone. Now THAT was expensive! We had to buy a minimum amount.......a lot more than we need. We only needed enough to put a daily call through to report our position, but was forced to buy a lot more.

So I am now making arrangements to put a call through to Eben Human at Die Burger to give him a daily update.

Jeremy reckons we can exchange the rest of the airtime at St Helena for beers and meals. I.e. we go to a pub, ask another competitor if he would like to phone home and if yes, he can buy us a beer or a meal in exchange for using our phone.

I think it is a brilliant idea. The more they talk, the more we can eat and drink.
