Wind

I’m really glad I moved and re-anchored. Pim almost took out two other boats when it started blowing a near gale, they would have been right on top of me. Their dinghy flipped and they lost their outboard as they were getting the anchor up, it was a real mess. The radio was full of traffic as boats were dragging all over; it was a tense and uncomfortable 8 hours.

Well all the weather has past and left a windlass state in its wake. There is not a breath of wind to leave by. I’m checked out, fueled and provisioned, and just waiting. Tomorrow’s gribs show to be windlass as well. I don’t like leaving on Friday anyway, not because I superstitious, just traditional.

I have just another 1000 franks which I may use for another bag of oranges tomorrow.

I’m really looking forward to being at sea again, it’s been 2 long.

Peace, Love, And Coconuts everyone.
