After weekends of rock n pop concerts, family events, being on call at weekends and just plain old awful Blighty weekend weather we have ventured back down to das bot today. Das captain has popped down over the last few weeks for checks, so despite being neglected she looked in pretty good shape. I was surprised she didn't have the hump after bing under utilised over the last six weeks.
True to form as we neared Plymouth the heavens opened.......so no swailing for us today. It has just been nice to chill aboard. The Marina is sooo quiet and has been for weeks everyone rueing the worst season in a long time. We expect some wind and rain but not what we have had this yr.....and worst of all the best days for swailing have been whilst we,ve been at work!
So the sun is shining now and skies blue, let's hope it stays that way so next weekend we can get some wind into those swails and give das bot and her motley crew a well deserved run out!
