Picture this.. 4 people, 2 bean bags, one deckchair, one
cushion; around a large tupperware container doubling as a table in the middle
of the cockpit floor; in the shade of the afternoon sun; while the spinnaker
transports them across a saphire blue sea; playing magnetic Scrabble
and drinking tea with another batch of banana bread!! Like it? Well that was us
yesterday afternoon. We are enjoying some lovely, warm and relatively
unchallengeing sailing (however, it was essential that the Scrabble was
magnetic, and we're secretly grateful that it was the last of the bananas.) The
soft carrots, bruised apples, soggy onions and mouldy bread rolls have gone to
Davy Jones' larder. But we have lots of eggs, flour, porridge along with the
ubiquitous rice and tins of stew. Tim converts such ingredients into gourmet
dishes in minutes, even if certain combinations of flavour are 'interesting'.
And Tiger and I believe that King has a secret hoard of Twix, as we have noticed
one or two empty wrappers about the place. He may have to become a light
sleeper.
