Its hard to imagine, but here we are in June
already,
The weather has got noticably cooler as we head
North, the light breeze is fine on the starboard bow and the seas are
flat,
As we motor sailed along, we passed lots of Blue
and red jelly fish with sails, yes, a transparent sail the full length of the
jelly fish.
well, could you ever believe that, Jelly fish with
sails, whats next !
Yesterday and today were pretty uneventfull,
beautifull weather, so we cleaned the showers, the railings, dragged the
Parasail ( Kite ) out of the forward cabin onto the
fore deck and aired it for the day,
Aileen made white soda bread, while skipper cooked
the dinners, today we had roast stuffed porksteaks, all the way from
the US, and they were big and very good , but
the mixed herbs in the stuffing was a bit strong,
Because the wind has been so light , or too much
ahead, we have used the engine more than ever, we have motored
nearly 550 miles since we left Antigua, thats
almost the length of Ireland X 2.
We expect to arrive in Bermuda next Saturday night,
however the forecast is for head winds which might slow us down
and it could well be Sunday morning when we
get in.
We have heard nothing from the Irish Embassy in
Washington regarding Skippers passport, will we ever get to the States
!
Thats it for now,
Signed :- Stephen Hyde,, ( Skipper
)
