What a lot of fun and games. I woke up at 01.00 in the
morning and have been up all this time. For the record, just gone 11.15 BST.
Soon I'll revert to BST as I will be in home waters.
I had 5 fishing boats to play with, then the wind picked
up from 12 to 18/20, I could see it coming, quickly rolled the G and dashed
down. Then going over the continental shelf, what a strange area...I put the
echo sounder and it was reading 5.5 meters...some churned up water. The echo
sounder works by the way, we are in 165m now, nearly 6 hours later.
Cloud cover 8/8, another grey day.
Yesterday I had Bouillabaisse soup with toasties,
the latter I broke to pieces, excellent. Today I'll have Moules Marinieres, I am
keeping to the French theme but both tins came from Denmark (Waitrose). When I
provisioned for the trip I went to all different supermarkets, Asda, Sainsbury,
Tesco, Morrison in Plymouth, Waitrose and the local Indian shops. Variety
is the spice of life. I cannot have chicken korma everyday even though I like it
very much.
I was thinking of my dad this morning, he died over
30 years ago. I'll tell you about him tomorrow.
