Its now been 4 days since we left
the coast of England and I am really missing all the little
luxuries I took for granted like a shower (specially Uncle Iain) and even a
toilet bowl set in solid ground for me to throw up in as it has been rough on
the sea the past few days and sea sickness had got the better of me but it has
cleared up nicely now and the sea has calmed and the sun has been trying to make
an appearance from behind the clouds its so beautiful out here everywhere
you look there is an unbelievable view the sun and moon rising and setting they
create a picture so amazing words cant describe. Uncle Iain and Auntie
Gaynor have let me start night shifts with them now so we all get a little
more sleep through the night now and i love every moment I'm on them... there is
so much time to think out here I have thought of so many things I want to do yet
I don't think a lifetime will be enough time to achieve them all!! We got
some special visitors last night just before dark when a pod of dolphins came to
play at the bow of the boat they are such gracious creatures they move
through the water so playfully turning on their bellies and play fighting
with each other, we had nearly lost hope that we would get to see any after
spending hours everyday tapping the side of the boat hoping they would come to
play so this little visit was the perfect way to end the day followed
by one of Auntie Gaynors amazing suppers she manages to create out
here I don't know how she does it I can hardly stand up and she can do
the salsa, juggle unboiled eggs and cook something that can
make my tastebuds melt all at the same time!!!! Anyhow back to our sail we have
had the cruising chute up all night and the wind is right behind us pushing us
right to the canarys well if u can call it a wind its sitting at 5 knots and
we're hardly moving averaging a speed of 3 knots its better that it has
been except the day I was sick and spent it down in the saloon missing all the
action!!!! Uncle Iain has knocked us up a tasty smelling feed for lunch so
that's my call for duty.............
Till Next time all the best
