well ..what to say late rush to boat after frantic
prep and l should not have had third beer last night as it failed to knock
me out.
great fish and chips set me up though
leaving was emotional and strange with so much
going on but going right ...those that count know
this leg is H and me - so start of short handed
prep for the bigger crossings to come
cold rough and grey to start and usual 'what am l
doing here' thoughts so l practiced my sleeping techniques which worked a
treat
and left H to set up sails etc before falling
asleep l thought what would we all feel and be when next year we round the Bill
...so
without any more a do l went horizontal and
out
2 hours later woke to find with winds at SW we were
going more to Dover than Portugal so with a deadline we changed
course
seas have eased a bit though good swell now some 8
hours in and running parallel to English Channel TSS - blue sky but
cold
H eaten two days of rations while old boy regrets
having forgotten tonic and cant just yet face those pork pies
