we left RCYC at 13:57 GMT.
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.
Comments
there once was a seadog called brian
hair so curly it needed an iron
always chased by the girls
who so loved his curls
cos it gave them a pillow to lie on.
went to sea in a rinkydink boat
in a hurry to see if she'd float
sailed with dolphins and whales
and occasional gales
'and my hair is still curly!' he'd gloat.
woohooing, he surfs a huge wave
he is ever so curly and brave
by day he is salty
by night single malty
and his curly haired lass he does crave.
each day more manly & weathered
daily beauty routine's been severed
his mojo unleashed
a primordial beast
will return to us curly but leathered.
lots of love x
more verses anyone?
