Still like a typical English summer. Rain...lots of....grey, no sun for 3 days, seas big, but yacht riding them effortlessly. So it's Monday. Could be any other day for that matter. No good news coming out of the galley as we come to the end of two weeks at sea. Mateus Rose 1 bottle left. I've hidden it out of motley reach in the fridge. All Don Simon cartons of 1 euro white wine now gone. No cointreau left...I'm told by animal it was medicinal...5 slabs of beer left (120 cans) 1 bar of Cadburys, and 1 frozen chicken in case the wind drops and we are still sailing Christmas Day. In fact the only thing not touched is several hundred litres of fresh bottled water in the bilges. Hot dogs are running seriously low: gone by tomorrow: might remove some from emergency evacuation bag. No veggie left (Yeh!!!!) Plenty of sun cream left. A few oranges and apples left....Lots of nasty Canaries purchased snacks left. Bran flakes, chilli, and pasta in abundance. Will need the beer to keep relevant parts of anatomy cool.
Thank you Mr & Mrs N for the pair of beer goggle glasses....everything beginning to look good. Mr Frog on Barometer seems happy and its early evening and 31C . Simone's weather is helping us avoid really nasty weather...but there is no point dear in telling us to keep going south as we will end up missing St Lucia, or wherever it is we are meant to be going. on deck discussing various shades of colouring in the deck, and how there is no bird poo on the boom lately, and isn't it amazing how little there is to see at night in the pitch black...
All conversation long gone...clocks went back an hour today because it was still dark at lunchtime, but good for late evening meals
Run out of words. Hope to restock or re-use some tomorrow.
