The adventures of Skipper Splodge and mack

Thu 3 Jun 2010 20:13

We have not got as far South as we had hoped, the Irish sea has been like a mirror. We have finally run into some wind, so a chance for the engine to rest, but with the tide against us we are only managing to make 3 knots. We may be stuck out here for a little longer than planned. Perhaps Joe might not make it to work on Monday (Hope his boss is not reading this blog).

Not sure what Joe did with his prawns, but my Spag Bol was good, and we finally had the chocolate sponge pudding and custard we have been saying we will have for the last 4 days.

I'm off watch, and off to my bed for a few hours, back on at 3am, Joe on watch with the sun setting behind him.
