A big red moon rose up out of the sea and I
thought another beautiful night! - Well not as good as Saturday night but
as it turned out it was still 'Moons'ls!' sailing as Ewen likes to put it. The
full moon kept me company driftig in and out from behind hazy clouds while I
sailed along in a light sutheasterly breeze; difficult to believe when I know
there is a storm raging over my destination out to the
west.
This morning the three day forecast showed the low
reforming itself into the usual round shape and heading SE towards me and as it
does so it loses its intensity. The north and west sides still strong but south
and east sides, which affect me first, much quieter. I hope the forcasters have
got it right because I am now heading directly west to meet it. If it continues
southeast and passes over me I shall have to deal with the stronger winds on the
other side. This storm has been imposing it's menace on my mind and actions for
the last six days, it wold be nice to get it behind me. Still we do these things
and venture onto the oceans, who am I to complain?
As I write the sun is shining out of a blue sky
with fluffy white clouds and there is a warm wind bowling us along, it's
difficult to believe the forecasters.
