Sephina of Beaumaris - Day 11 The Brochure and a Dilemma



Day 11 The Brochure and a Dilemma It finally happened. After 11 days of all sorts of weather I awoke to the brochure picture. The sun came up from right behind us, as we are going west now, and within an hour the sky was full of “fair weather cumulus” All we need now is 5 more knots of wind and we will be flying. Talking of which, we flew the Parasailor yesterday in very light wind just to make sure we knew how to rig and set it. The crew took some photos and it would be hard to not notice we are from the “Land of our Fathers” with all the Welsh references. Today we hope to fly it in anger and see if we can up our speed.
I have a skippers dilemma. When to brake into the week 4 snack box! Steph who is responsible for provisioning has dutifully dived up the sacks into 4 week boxes and the 4th one is the reserve. However all the best treats are in the week 4 box including the Milka Oreo chocolate bars that I personally selected from the supermarket. OK if the worst happens and we are significantly delayed due to gear failure it is good psychology to have the best treats in the week 4 box. Should I just through caution to the wind and open it now? Should I wait for half way or the last couple of days? This will surely keep me awake at night as the ginger biscuits just don’t cut it anymore.
