Saturday 29th November
I should have done this trip as a Movember fund raising
exercise; most of us are looking a bit shaggy! I wouldn’t dare cast aspersions on the
hygiene or otherwise of the rest of the crew, but I for one am going to treat
myself to a strip wash using a whole pint of water. It’s slowly getting warmer
and everything is ripening rapidly! Every now and again, a banana falls onto a
slumbering Alastair or the table in the saloon from above, someone picks it up
and carefully transfers it to a growing pile of over ripe bananas for what is to
become banana bread. This sounded like a gd idea until we realised nobody knew
how to cook it! So if anyone who’s reading this blog (1 or two people?!!!) can
email me the recipe, I’d be eternally grateful (plain text with no pictures to
[email protected]).
More dolphins today; neat, small, pretty things that
have a dark top half and light underbelly; no mottling on these ones.
Dinner last night was a total success, cooked by master
chef Alastair; chicken and red pepper/ onion/ courgette stir fry with noodles
and none of it went on the floor. I must be going soft; we furled the headsail
whilst we prepared and ate dinner. Still trying to stay on top of the rotting
fresh food situation; our mangos are now also coming into season! Perversely,
I’ve never eaten so healthily in my life, and needless to say it keeps one very
regular!
