The wind's now NE6, so we're making good progress
in the right direction - couldn't ask for more than that. Sea
state is moderate to rough but as we're sailing in the same direction as
the waves, life is still fairly comfortable aboard.
Thank you all for the text messages of support, I
must confess to a bit of homesickness at the moment. I think it's the
contrast between the high sociability of the days before the start and the
solitude now that I'm out at sea. Like seasickness, I'll get over
it.
Haven't felt seasick, so I hope that I have found
my sealegs. The Stugeron has worked - so far! My
appetite has diminished as it always does and I haven't yet even opened a tin.
Despite the reduced diet, the um, how shall I phrase it, natural motions
continue apace, which I suppose only serves to prove that yachtbrokers really
are full of s**t.
