We only covered eighty six miles yesterday, but at least
we are moving. Columba knows how frustrated and irritated I get when we are just
drifting around. I will download a weather forecast today to see what's
happening weatherwise but because of the lack of wind and limited fuel supply, I
can' move myself into an advantageous position even if I wanted to.
That said, I have a 360* clear view of the horizon today
with very few clouds about and the temperature is still 30*. I think my
visible horizon is about eight nautical miles. That means I am looking at 200
square miles of ocean, if my maths is correct!
There are two types of bird that occasionally fly around
the boat but unfortunately my Collins " Scottish Birds" books doesn't seem to
have them listed. I'm sure one of them is some sort of tern, as it has a very
distinctive deep forked tail feathers.
I bought some new deodorant whilst in Rodney Bay and
after showering one evening I used it. The two other blokes in the block
looked at me rather suspiciously. No wonder. It's for
women.
