A Catalogue of things lost
1) 100 litres of fresh water - respect to Willy for
owning up to leaving the tap running - Not as serious as it sounds, we have
plenty left...... at least until someone leaves the tap on again.
2) Inhibitions - Willy again....he has decided to go for
an all over tan...at least he is confining this activity to the
foredeck.
3) A bucket - this one is down to whoever tied the
rope to the handle and didn't use a BOWLINE.
4) A small piece of Spiller - genuinely dismayed at the
bucket loss, understandable when you consider it was part of his 3 bucket
wash and rinse system and cleaning does keep him sane!
5) Rob's favourite lure - Lost when trying to retrieve
bucket
6) Rob's temper - lost just after the loss of the
lure
7) The Trade winds - Still no sign of them, either Rob's
put them back in the wrong cupboard (again), or they're festering in
the bottom of the fridge along with several kilo's of meat. Hopefully we'll come
across them when we next do a tidy.
Other highlights of the day.
1) More visits from our friends the flying fish, we have
now had three on board in as many days
2) A school of Pilot whales surrounding the boat, very
graceful creatures
3) A swim in the Atlantic, very refreshing on a hot
and mostly windless day
4) Meatballs with pasta washed down with the local wine
- Thanks Rob.
