Bad start to final part of trip. Sleepless in London with flight from Gatwick to Porto at 1140 am. Train Elstree to Gatwick terminating Brighton. Got off at Gatwick turned out to be Brighton. Must have catnapped at wrong moment. Made flight by the scrape of an amoebas pube. Irish boat next door on pontoon. Insisted we came aboard and tested their port ... 2.30 am in morning bed. Now at sea heading north for somewhere or other on Spanish border. Wondering why I bothered buying Portuguese sim at airport . 4 meter seas and effects of short night leading the illustrious one to take a power nap down below and pop vit c tablets
Crew on this leg John K and weather girl Simone coming along to see first hand how horrible a 4 Meter sea on the beam can be ... At least sun is out and I can get nick ferrari on lbc radio on
Illustrious skipper crashing out
