FRIDAY 9th April
2010
00.30 A yacht could be seen 6 miles to
port,
Otherwise we motored all night as the winds were
very slack. and saw nothing else
08.00hrs, We had only covered 100miles, for us,
thats slow going.
We all took naps during the morning , plus having a
look at the grib files for the weather over the next 72 hours,
Hmmmmm, all very slack winds, perhaps an
increase in pressure on Saturday afternoon / Sunday Morning. ( our ETA
)
Meanwhile in the relativly calm conditions, we took
the oppertunity to do some polishing and cleaning of the chrome and
S.S. fittings.
We also did some reading,
Aileen got into a book , which she had read before
about " eating right 4 your blood type".
Its interesting in that the Skipper has B positive
blood, and never liked tomatoes, and guess what ! they are top of the list of
food
that does not suit his blood type, also peanuts are
high on the list of hates, and the skipper has suffered very badly on
occasions
from eating peanuts, almost being put into hospital
on a few occasions in Spain.
Then on the other hand , He loves dairy products,
such as milk, butter, cheese's, cream, eggs, and they suit his system
perfectly,
according to the book, no side effects like
cholestoral , etc and easily digested.
Of course this book could take a week to read and
longer to digest, so we will stop here, but it is interesting.
Later, while Donal was having the usual afternoon
siesta, the Skipper spent 2 hours preparing and making a Chicken
Pie.
using the onion gravy that Donal made yesterday,
Actually , it turned out to be very good. yum yum
The Sunset was again terrific, Day after Day,
beautifull Sunsets
The night watches are :-
Donal......... 21.00hrs to 01.00hrs
Stephen......01.00hrs to 05.00hrs
Aileen.........05.00hrs to
09.00hrs
Thats it for today,
Signed :- Stephen Hyde (
Skipper )
