Clipper 05-06: Incoming!

A common theme right now coming back from the boats is the continuous attacks from either squid or boobies. The squid have two tactics, either throwing themselves bodily at crews and boats, or actually latching on. Peter Le Coyte of Jersey was viciously attacked by a purple squid at least 5 inches long, which bit the end of his little finger. Peter bravely carried on his Mother Watch duties, stoic to the last. Paddy on Cardiff was hit in the back of the head by one at night, and apparently everyone on board made sure the squid was OK before sending it back to the sea.
