We've arrived!!
A few more thunderstorms last night and a rainy
arrival at about nine o'clock this morning. Whatever happened to the advertised
blue seas, blue sky...
We both felt very odd walking on dry land after
being bounced around for five days. I'm quite sure I saw the land tip over a few
times when we went ashore for our arrival breakfast.
I think I'm supposed to comment on the lessons
learned from our trip. So in the spirit of brotherhood with anyone who is daft
enough to put to sea in a small boat I offer the following:
1. Never go to sea without a girl on board. If you
really can't get one (wife won't let you, etc) then take several yards of extra
strong knicker elastic.
2. Encourage your children to take an interest in
marine engineering from an early age.
3. Try to avoid having an engine in which important
bits like alternators fall off when you least expect it.
4. Finally, only ever take vegetarians as
crew so that if a pork pie goes missing you only have yourself to
blame!!
Right, that's it until the next time.
Michael, where did we see that nice fish
restaurant...?
