Neroli - Weather delay

Weather delay

Neroli

Wed 19 May 2010 20:07

We've just come off the radio with Herb Hilgenberg. He advised us to wait a further 24 hours to see how the current unfavourable weather pattern develops. We very much hope for better conditions tomorrow.

Meanwhile we'll stay at anchor with all systems ready to go and the crew eager to spring into action.

The skipper has promised a repeat of the movie night we enjoyed on the way north and the cook is working hard on creating another chapter in his future bestseller on Cooking With Cabbage (actually, it's amazing what a few scraps of bacon, some garlic and ginger, breadcrumbs and parmesan can do to a bit of cabbage). (Don't worry - cooking notes aren't permitted in the blog once we're sailing.)
