A Very Windy
Sunday
 So, you’re minding your own business,
at your morning ablutions, when you hear an alarmed quick, you spin round and a whirlwind drags your mop
across your face and the wind pulls up a hair raising
experience – you just wait........, I look like I’ve put my head in
a demented candyfloss machine. Now this is the person who hates hair, especially
touching the ‘boat race’. I have to admit that lately, whilst mowing
the skippers head, the urge to whip the mower across the top of my own pate has
been diminishing – just as well it wasn’t out of its stable and saddled up this
morning...........
Now I’ve mentioned wind. We had a
night in the powerful current here holding us at right angles to the wind.
Swishing water noises and the odd spin on the spot with a bit of bounce in winds
gusting thirty knots. Yesterday we looked out to loads of kite surfers, not a
one today. Just one booze cruise with a few scantily clad ladies who didn’t seem
to mind the soaking they were getting. Not a sign of the ice cream man all day,
in fact very little movement anywhere. A few boats added to the handful already
at anchor. We are all staying put – probably until Wednesday.
  Did I mention wind......again. Once
more the forecast is for solid wind, bar warnings and big seas. On the left is a
wind map, we like to spuddle about or sail in green
to orange, anything else is not really for us – considering the deep pink is the
other side of the island we are tucked behind.....by the
thumb tack. Things are set to settle by sometime Wednesday, guess we will
stay put for now then. (Thank you to Windyty and Google for the images).
 It seems our lovely sunsets are
destined to be every other night. Tonight was a pinkish
sky then lights out.
ALL IN ALL A DISTINCT LACK OF
HOLIDAYMAKERS
GLAD TO BE IN RELATIVELY SHELTERED
