Just sailed along the coast to the next headland. Typical- the
forecast was saying 15 to 29 knots and most of the time it was under
10!
However now here and tucked under a high headland similar
shape to gibraltar but not as high, and now the wind is coming round strongly
from the south east ... supposed to be north to north east ... but as the sea is
so flat - to the east it is very shallow - there is very little motion but
with gusts up to 30knots I`ve not been too keen to leave the boat for any length
of time... so its swim ... beach ( and I`ve anchored off a tiny beach between
the rocks so most of the time I have it to myself) relax eat swim again and the
sea is hotter here ... over 25 degrees so I am enjoying and recovering from too
many pills ... not had any painkillers for a few days and the antibiotic
dose finished this morning. (and I reckon was making me feel all I wanted to do
was sleep!)
So while Bizerte was a lively and interesting and very old
town. The market for fish and veg was incredible... but with the tooth, I have
hardly eaten anything fresh food till today so thought it a waste of money to
buy stuff yet. Tooth now pretty much ok .. if I deliberately pressure it I know
its there but thats all. I definately prefer the wild open places like
here!
Hopefully the wind will calm down a bit tomorrow and I can go
exploring the local wilderness of bushes and trees and I think an old fort and a
holiday resort on the horizon (wont go that far
though!)
