Lazy Sunday Afternoon

Finally after a week at sea, this is what the ARC is all
about – sun, no squalls, parasailor doing the business, books being
started at last and for once eating our food off a level table (long may it last!).
A remarkably unremarkable day – no sails to fix and even the water maker
is behaving. Skipper however in his relentless search to eliminate:chafe
now seems to be wrapping every guardrail and sheet in sight in bits of old yellow
hosepipe. Should be interesting when he next wants to fill his water
tanks and finds he only has a two foot hose! Saw the first
yacht on the horizon since last Monday and chatted to them on the VHF.
Also now in flying fish territory and might even get the fishing lines out
tomorrow. Apparently yellow fin tuna are plentiful (according to our
friends on Rock Oyster who have landed and eaten two – Nobu eat your
heart out). . |
