There she blows!
Last night’s sail was hard yakka and I was grateful that social media kept me awake to 6 am and the end of my watch. I don’t think my bed has ever looked soooo good… Capt G was most amused and even snuck down to snap a photo of Zeus keeping an eye on me. Continue reading
It’s been a long day’s night

Life’s like that…
Life’s a funny old thing. Just when you think you can sit back, relax and enjoy the ride those pesky little Fates tweak the threads of the fabric and suddenly everything changes. Clotho, the Fate responsible for spinning the threads, is clearly meddling with me at the moment. Over the last twelve months I’ve had Continue reading
