We had a fantastic sunset last night followed
by some of the best stars we have ever seen and a beautiful moon. Night watches
were spent gazing at the sky and counting how many shooting stars we could see.
This is definitely a vast improvement from the night before, where Stephen and I
spent the night hunting for the missing cereal bar that Neil had tried to throw
for us, in the rain, from the safety of the hatch. The only plus side was
that we discovered 3 in its place the following morning so we have of course
come to the only conclusion - they have been breeding in the night!
So no risk of any food shortages here!
We have been spoiled with good food and treats from
Malene. After her amazing purple potato dish last night, she has gave us
all another treat today with freshly baked honey and sunflower
seed bread that we have been scoffing away. Tonight on the menu
is meatballs and dauphinoise potatoes from Janet, which we are
all very excited to eat! New boat rule - every supper must come with a
song... last night was Purple Rain (potato) and today we had a lovely
performance of the Meatball song from Stephen.
After a rolly start the seas have
calmed, the sun is shinning and both sails are out YEYY!!! As Skipper says,
"this is what sailing is meant to be like" and we are all very happy to be
experiencing it even if it did take some time.
Sending lots of love from Nic and the rest of the Skye
