Day Four to St
Helena
Well, I got up at ten and as is the
rhythm of things prepare Bear’s breakfast. Mixed muesli box from the cupboard
under the sink was joined by his back up supply box which leapt to the floor,
fortunately just a cup full threw itself across the kitchen. Great start and bad
language so early in my day. Half a small bowl of the lovingly mixed muesli, on
goes his spoonful of Trill, pawpaw from the fridge and a sliced banana to finish
it off. A bit too wiggly for me to manage the milk so I lean out, Bear holds and
I pour. Mmmm, that went well.... I filled my right Croc with the white
stuff......Note to self – use a bigger bowl.
Backgammon which spread before and
after lunch. I was far too ambitious doing Bear mutton pie (not quite defrosted
since I got up), instant cheesy mash, petite peas (defrosted in a measuring jug
and left to dangle from the apple basket for safety) and gravy (pre-made from
the fridge left doing backstroke in the washing up bowl). Oven on, kettle on,
going well. Peas and mash in foil alongside the pie – tick. However, after two
all at the backgammon it was time for me to serve. I built a mash nest for the
gravy and between Beez side to side movements somehow managed to assemble the
rest. Gravy in nest last. Delivered to Bear who, on the first wave got a lap
full of escapee gravy. I did myself five fish fingers as by now much needed
happy food, after all that was too exhausted by my efforts to win. Five two
loss. Growling very loudly. Tomorrow he gets egg mayonnaise sarnies with side
salad all prepared seated in the cockpit...
 The rest of the day went really well,
off watches comfortably spent in bed and not too much fiddling with direction.
There is always plenty of time to reflect on experiences, where we have been, favourite moments and what the future
holds. Excited and very exciting.
 Bear pointed out that Madagascar was
not in red – quick update.......
 My favourite
picture, to this day and since I took it has been my desktop background.
The 27th of August 2013 on the island of Moorea, Tahiti in the distance. I asked
Bear what his favourite pictures was. Oooo........
 A never to be
forgotten moment, you with the patient wavy albatross waiting for his wife to
arrive. And I guess that’s why every time I try to change this from
our Facebook picture I get three faults AND a refusal........
Bear carried on reading Harry Bosch
(Michael Connolly), whilst I listened to the new Nalini Singh, very good
too.
At six we this morning we have
covered 140.2 nmiles.
Total completed 477.6 nautical
miles.
ALL IN ALL CULINARY
CHALLENGES BUT LOVELY
A VERY COMFORTABLE
