Hi ,I am back after a break – I have been enjoying the
beautiful blue skies with little fluffy clouds and the sunshine. Mostly I have been sunbathing on deck or
having short walks ( I don’t need or even like long ones!) At night from
midnight til 3am I sit on deck and watch the moon and the stars and listen to
the waves bubbling under the boat as we speed along. When I am not on watch I
sleep in Tina and Marks cabin (on their bed!)
Today was the 2nd December – the people have an
Advent Calendar they seem to be enjoying and they have put up some Christmas
Decorations. They are relaxed and
enjoying the sailing. Early this morning
they put up a big black sail at the front of the boat and I didn’t like it at
all – it banged and rustled and made us go a lot faster. My feeders loved it.
They had to work hard with the big black sail as they hand
steered for 11 hours. Tina says she
enjoyed her watch hand sailing from 11am til 4pm – she said that when the sun
was going down she had a ‘silver road’ on the sea to follow.
They had fun
watching their speed and monitoring how far they are going. They have an aim of around 200 nm per
day. (I find all this stuff really dull
and am more interested in the food)
Food is great on board – this morning they had Bacon and
Eggs for breakfast – then for lunch a Spanish omelet with salsa and for supper
they had Sweet and Sour Chicken with rice – everyone agrees that we are all
eating better on the boat than we do at home – Pasta Carbonara, Moroccan Lamb
Tagine, Chicken Casserole, Fish n Chips, Hand Made Burgers, Home Made Bread,
Melon and Parma Ham, Scrambled Eggs and Smoked Salmon., Pancakes with Mango and
Maple Syrup, Cinnamon Toast…..
I love it because I get lots and lots of treats.
Today the feeders have been talking about arriving in St Lucia
and they are excited about it but they all agree that the journey is just as
important and there are quite a few days left.
They have all had a guess at the arrival date and time and there is a
bet on. The winner gets to be king or
queen for a day and will get pampered!!
I get pampered everyday and I don’t mind when we get there –
wherever there is
As home is where my friends and family are.
