Sitting on the dock of the bay

3 weeks of gorgeous weather and then the day you plan to leave a gale comes through. Ha. Now it's Thursday 6th, 10am (local) and we are still at the RCYC. It's windy and wet. I suppose that's the way it's meant to be when your sailing but it is a bit too windy to set off. Hopefully the front will come through in the expected couple of hours and then we'll be off.
Slept on the yacht last night. It's a lovely feeling to sleep on a moving yacht. Wonder if it takes one back to the time we were in a womb?
Enough already.

Heading for Madeira

Position: 14,18.1N , 21,4.41W Speed: 7 knots, Course: 310 deg. UTC Time: 03. August 2006 08:47 Pointing high towards the Canaries just east of the Cape Verde Islands heading for Madeira. Still not north of them yet. Sea rough, cloudy, rain and wet. 2 reefs in Main and Genoa. Once past Cape Verdes may bare away to make easier sailing and tack back over later on a reach. Makes it longer but easier on us and the boat.

Alison's been asking for a photo of me on the boat Mediterranean- style. So here it is. A bit posey I know, and this not a true reflection of how I spend my days; basking in the sunshine without a care in the world...honest
