It's been another twenty four hours of no wind. Mat
(Rodney Bay) has sent an email with some weather information which is helpful.
I've seen some of the developments on the weather files I get, and on Sunday,
providing I don't move, I am right in the middle of two weather systems. I might
get a bit squally so this morning I've emptied the two jerry cans of diesel into
the main tank and I've hoisted up the storm jib just to make sure all the
fittings work, and remind myself of the lead from the clew of the sail back to
the cockpit.
One option I am considering now is to shape a course for
Pwllheli without visiting the Azores. I am already 100 miles if the Azores and
the weather systems expected on Sunday would be favourable to start that
journey. I am going to download some weather information before I finally
decide.
I've nearly finished the fourth Inspector Rebus novel
that Ian has left on the boat. In my mind, I can picture Ken Stoddard (I think
that's the actors name) who plays the Inspector and I am enjoying
them.
The food menu is getting a bit bland though. It's rice,
pasta, rice or pasta.
I think I'll have rice
tonight.
