Good afternoon Piccolo fans,
Today finds Piccolo with 9 knots of wind from
the east, the humming of the motor from the stern and the sweet smell of
vegetables roasting in the oven (port side of boat for those
interested).
Progress has been hampered by the weather,
yesterday saw some motoring, some sailing and some motor sailing. Yes, we
are multi talented people and can do it all. Sadly what we can't do is
bring wind and seas that would aid us in our chase for a Saturday landing but
with the amount of praying to Neptune being done (except Sam who has been
praying to Venus as he is a little confused sometimes, although he insists that
payers of any kind will help) we should get a good day or two soon and
paint Cowes red on Saturday night.
Yesterday brought us Chef Katie with her 'Grande
Sandwiche Luttuce' for lunch, a 'Pasta Marvelosso' for dinner with a desert of
'Sublime Fruits of the Tin Crumble'. The crumble was the nuts, topped with
muesli and covered in cream it filled any corners the Piccolo crew had
left.
Today is the turn of Chef Heidi and so far the
lunch has filled crew and the smell of the vegetables in the oven is returning
them rapidly to a state of hunger. Mat is off to do a sun dance as grey is
dull, Katie is sleeping her way to Cowes and Sam is.. well.. probably praying to
some god of something not so useful and therefore wasting time... not that
we have much time on our hands though is it........
