Another day of strong winds and big seas. We are making good mileage
westward towards the halfway point, but there is still a long way to go.
Our fresh fruit and veg are now much depleted and what’s left looks a bit
worse for wear. We are currently eating out way through a banana feast as all
our green ones have ripened at the same time. We still have some potato's,
onions and carrots left, so will make sure these get eaten first before we start
on the tinned and packet foods. Stuff has lasted pretty well though as some of
it was from Tenerife, which seems a lifetime ago now.
All Amanda’s cakes have now been devoured and we were hoping to make some
banana muffins, but the sea has been to rough to contemplate a full on baking
session.
Still not much sign of life out here, we have seen flying fish and some
petrels. |
