Wednesday 25th August (2nd blog)
There was no weather window today after
all. So on to Plan B. Both Rob and Tom are running out of time and
so we are going to change crew in Falmouth instead of La Coruna. Sadly Rob
and Tom will be departing tomorrow and Simon and Mark will join us tomorrow
evening in the hope that there will be an improvement in the weather which would
enable us to leave Falmouth on Friday. Both Rob and Tom have been great
crew and can sail with Anthony and I any time, hopefully in sunnier
climes. After much laughter, Rob's good food and our sometimes desperate
attempts to discover something he does not know we will miss
him. Tom is a very resourceful chap who when half way up
the mast fixing deck lights and with no more halyards available
can see how to get tools up to him without lowering him all the way down
again. We fancy we have now thoroughly prepared him to take on the Army
and we will miss him too.
The forehatch is leaking again and so out must come
the silicone tube again, maybe we should just silicone the whole deck
and be done with it!
I hope the next blog on Friday will report some
progress.
