Well, we have been plagued by clams and a North
Atlantic that resembles a mill pond. This is a lot better than being plagued by
storms. So its a slow journey with the weather slowly getting colder: as Murrays
bits are no longer hanging freely in the wind, so to speak, but trousers, a
fleece and a hat are making nighttime appearances. Yesterday was a wash day and
the boat looked very elegant with the quilt cover draped from the backstays like
a new purple sail. Murray was also dragged kicking and screaming to the shower
wah bag and my fears over having a stowaway vagrant disappeared. So, with clean
bedding and husband I just need some sailing wind. (Regular readers might
remember the Biscay Crossing!)
We have a few hundred miles to go before we clear
the ice berg limit and can set course for England, joining the Great Circle
route.
