Aahhh, heaven is a vessel full of water...

DecaDance's Web Diary
Chris White and Jeanna Coleman
Mon 21 Feb 2011 23:27
Position: 28:01.11N 016:36.46W - Marina San Miguel, Tenerife (again - not that we're complaining, it's our second home)
 
 
Delivered mum back to Tenerife in a constant 30 knots of wind, 9 knots plus boat speed, topping 10.7 (DecaDance record), huge waves breaking over the boat - exhilerating (sp) for us, poor mum thinks that's what we do every day...  I don't think she'll ever sleep again.
 
 
But she's a trooper; didn't lose her nerve, caught the fruit bowl as we heeled when the wind first hit (missed an avacado which Chris later found in the snake pit), and retained the contents of her stomach - if not the fruit bowl.
 
 
And when I took mum back to her hotel ready for tomorrow's flight I had a bath.  Oooh, heaven.  Two jabs in my bum and a course of horse pills is doing little to ease my back pain, but half an hour soaking in hot water has done wonders.  Thanks mum x
