Current Position at 1530 GMT is 12:06N 45:52W. The
only thing changing from day to day is our position and mental
state!!
Each day the weather forecast shows improvements tomorrow,
then tomorrow arrives and becomes today and the weather shows improvements from
tomorrow. This has gone on now for several days and is becoming somewhat
tiresome. In fairness though, although the wind increased
overnight it has dropped a fraction this afternoon - trying to hover at just
over 20 knots and the seas really aren't big they are just very
confused.
The jerky motion of the boat is still making it very
difficult to do anything (as I slide off the chair, leg outstretched wedged
under the fire extinguisher to try and give me some support). Doing dinner
last night was a battle and I crashed my wrist into the benchtop while using two
hands to dish up, silly me I should know better by now but it is very hard to
dish up one handed.
So as you can see my sense of humour has jumped overboard,
I hope it was wearing its life jacket so we can retrieve it again one day.
Talking of life jackets, we are all developing rashes around our necks from non
stop wearing. It's getting abit hot now for them too, but until the seas
settle, or we anchor - whichever comes first and I suspect it may the later - we
will keep wearing them. Still too rough to fish, all those Mahi Mahi
swimming around out there, what a waste.
I'll try and remember to take some happy pills in the
morning to make tomorrows update a little more upbeat .... until
then
