Still like a typical English summer. Rain...lots of....grey, no sun for 3
days, seas big, but yacht riding them effortlessly. So it's Monday. Could be
any other day for that matter. No good news coming out of the galley as we
come to the end of two weeks at sea. Mateus Rose 1 bottle left. I've hidden
it out of motley reach in the fridge. All Don Simon cartons of 1 euro white
wine now gone. No cointreau left...I'm told by animal it was medicinal...5
slabs of beer left (120 cans) 1 bar of Cadburys, and 1 frozen chicken in
case the wind drops and we are still sailing Christmas Day. In fact the
only thing not touched is several hundred litres of fresh bottled water in
the bilges. Hot dogs are running seriously low: gone by tomorrow: might
remove some from emergency evacuation bag. No veggie left (Yeh!!!!) Plenty
of sun cream left. A few oranges and apples left....Lots of nasty Canaries
purchased snacks left. Bran flakes, chilli, and pasta in abundance. Will
need the beer to keep relevant parts of anatomy cool.
Thank you Mr & Mrs N for the pair of beer goggle glasses....everything
beginning to look good. Mr Frog on Barometer seems happy and its early
evening and 31C . Simone's weather is helping us avoid really nasty
weather...but there is no point dear in telling us to keep going south as we
will end up missing St Lucia, or wherever it is we are meant to be going.
on deck discussing various shades of colouring in the deck, and how there is
no bird poo on the boom lately, and istn't it amazing how little there is to
see at night in the pitch black...
All conversation long gone...clocks went back an hour today because it was
still dark at lunchtime, but good for late evening meals
Run out of words. Hope to restock or re-use some tomorrow.
