First blog at sea for me! I know it's what you've
all been waiting for : the Saki cum Taki literary mixture of wit and debonnaire
from the seafaring cyber fingertips of Oscar Nowak. The last ten days have been
full of activity. Boson Brooke hums as he works, "The good ship's name was
Ebeneezer, all we did was scrub and clean her'. Sometimes it seems that way, but
the old addage - A Happy Ship is a Clean Ship, rings true.
Blogmeister Donald (where's your troooosers) has
read and re-read every manual onboard. We're getting there. Changed the oil
in the Volvo Penta 4 cylinder diesel engine after it's first 50 hours of use. It
is serving us proud as there has been little wind. Biscay was calm and sunny
after the ferocious gales and storms that whipped through last week. -
OSCAR
Bayona Yacht Club - we moored in their
marina
 Oscar eyed the local Spanish talent.......until he
discovered she was pregnant!!
 Back at the Yacht Club Oscar got pie
eyed
 Back at the yacht Oscar tried to
focus.
 So onwards, with beautiful
Bayona behind us. Skipper Moore looking forward to the dancing girls and
casinos further down the Portuguese coast ;-) and the rest of the crew
picking up the Birmingham screwdriver now and again, and getting used to night
shifts and sea life.
