Day 9 Tuesday 12 December 2006
Red sky in the morning, what s the next
bit,
Never mind, one hour later the squall it
hit.
Ernie the engine, please be a dear
And Nemo, now it is your turn to
steer.
Horatio locked off and Genny is
furled,
Skipper indoors with hot coffee is
curled.
Herb said light conditions until
Saturday,
But watch out for those squalls, I did hear him
say.
The batteries are topped up with the quick surge of
power
And a tank of hot water, just right for a
shower.
One hour later the squall has gone
away
And with it the wind, is that all for
today?
Do I sit here not even averaging 1 knot,
Or do I use up some more of that diesel I ve got?
The laws of physics are true always,
No exception is Pat s Law that says -
Deteriorating conditions are equally opposite to the increasing consumption
of chocolate!
It was a 12 piece squall.
