I wont ever appreciated
sleep as much as I do now! The weather has been pretty shocking we
could use a little sun and some wind maybe???? we left cowes at
7 am yesterday morning and motored the whole day against the wind making our way
to cornwall, last night we where on 2 hour shifts, 2 hours night watch and 2
hours sleep uncle Ian was on my shift with me making sure I didn't get us
run over by any of the massive freight liners, cruise ships and oil takers
( so many of them out there)! which was lucky because we ran out of
fuel at 3am in the path of one of those beasts scary stuff!!!
he made a radio call to the cost guard making them aware of our situation we
refueled, he bleed the old diesel engine and got us moving again
in no time, uncle ian has
done a beautiful job reconditioning the thing and it ran perrfectly the
whole the whole 34 hours straight since we left Cowes. We have
been sailing for 3 days and my fishing lines been in the whole time yet no bites
I guess the lewer im using is the size of most the fish out there and if I pull
anything in it will probably be a great white or sumthn The closest thing to a
catchi had was getting auntie gaynors shoe caught on my hook. We arrived in Port
Pendennis round 5 this arvo and first thing I did was run to the showerblock (Oh
Sooooo nice I know it will be my last for at least 2 Weeeeeeeeeeks!!!! I'm
not the one who should be worried its my poor uncle and auntie who gotta put up
with me!) Anyways I'm having an amazing time and cant wait to set off tomorrow
and embrace the next few weeks ahead of us on lady corina making our voyage
to the canary island's and what the combination of the weather and
beastly sea will throw our way.
Thats it from me im off to bed cos i know tomorrow
will be a big one !
