how glad I am that I was only a little worried, it would have been a waste of fine worry had I been very worried. The arrangements with Marina Du Chateau seem to have headed in the right direction. Although outside its protection at the moment, the sea state is that of a small washing machine all be it on a delicate cycle. I may be here a couple more days, due to the weather not bureaucracy. I am pleased my external mantra of everything is alright in the end seems to have done no harm.
Today I will be asking for crew for the Bay of Biscay passage, (I really don't want to, even though some human interaction and experience would make a delightful change), the insurance company is insisting.
Again I would be happy to sail without insurance, its a question of legality and I do want to be legal.
To think soon it will not be just the Ol' Girl and me but someone else too is a complicated thing; this insignificant adventure in a global sense always seemed big enough due to the single handed bit, however as I contemplate the addition of another person aboard it seems even bigger. Water and food for two,(having said this it may turn out to be food for three, this is not due to little feet just potential calorie intake) a greater responsibility bandwidth, real or imagined and of course an audience to all my petty novice mistakes. I also have to remember to eat fewer onions otherwise it will be an ill wind to Vigo.
If this is what it takes to proceed, then this is what must be done.
Also the donations meter has not increased in a little while, so despite my enjoyment and improvement, maybe I have neglected ¨The Children's Hospital¨ side of things and this will be afforded a little more time to pull it into tow. It would be more than a bloody shame to get all the way to Gran Can and then complete the passage to St. Lucia only to raise no money.
If anybody out there would like to contribute please feel free to do so.
