Cat-man-do

Still No sunshine, still in wet weather gear and rather Chilly !!
It has to be said though we're having a cracking sail using no engines for the last 2 days. It's looking like it'll probably stay that way for a good while yet too. Yesterday was another first for us on this boat as I had to go up the mast whilst we were still sailing which was "interesting" One of the main sail cars had come adrift and the thought of leaving it and risking it tearing the whole lot on a broad reach didn't appeal so up the mast I went. It's suprising how much it moves around up there, even on the cat, but another little adventure to add to the list of lifes experience.
Talking of experiences, Pete made some sort of Tuna fried rice thingy yesterday, and considering it consisted of "there's something else in the cupboard, that'll do" it was a damn fine effort worthy of any chinese restaurant.
Another milestone this morning as Robert managed to make some rather nice egg n bacon butties for breakfast. Considering he usually spends the majority of the time hanging off the stern of the boat throwing anything he's eaten away, a result I say.
Loads and loads of Dolphins, one group staying about 3 hours this morning and still there. No whales or pigeons or Doves as other boats are reporting though.
Lots of friendly banter over the VHF with ourselves seeming to take a fair bit of it with comments about looking after "our" pigeons or ferrets, it's all good fun though.
The weathers not brilliant but a good wind, hopefully should see us around Cape Finisterre tonight and into Bayona for a glass or two to celebrate tomorrow afternoon (ish)
As always, take care at home and out here, or there.
Love
The Boys xx
