Having spent the best part of the last fortnight wearing all the clothes I own, it was with suprise and relief that Brighton turned up the wick and gave us 25 degrees of unbroken sunshine and a clear blue skies today.... Where had I stowed my shorts? Didn't think I'd be needing them on this trip !
We had a slow start this morning, as we were late eating last night and subsequently very late writing the blog and uploading photos to the Photo Album (which you can check out @ the very bottom of the blog page). It was so late in fact - I didn't phone Carol and boy did I get some stick today... oh, yes.
Col and I did a rough calculation last night after several vodkas and we realised we had travelled over 1050 nautical miles since a week last Monday... that will explain the tiredness and irritability.
Very sad day today..... Farklin (Col) went home - boo hoo !! Colin has been with me from the start and has been a stalwart from Day 1... To use Colin's own terminology -" He's a real star !! ... he's really FANTASTIC "
I helped Colin to his taxi at about 14.00 hrs and set about tidying, cleaning and doing a few minor repairs to the boat, ready for our next crew... Shaun (Production Director, Dairi-Pak) is arriving on Monday to do the next few legs with me.... So I have some time to do washing, drying and provisioning before we leave on Tuesday.
Haven't left the marina today and unlikely to venture far tonight...
Hope you are all well, and enjoying our blog...
Same time tomorrow ?
Tim

And so you should get a roasting ...... many phone calls and text messages and still no reply .......... all day and night! Are they lost at sea or just drunk and living it up in Brighton - yes, the latter !!
Anyway, its nice to see a snap of the cat and she still looks splendid. Enjoy the sunshine and the rest of the trip ..... love Mrs G (just one x today !!)
