Well life at sea after 5 days is not all cider and roses .....although it IS pretty darn good right now.
Earlier today our new blender packed up and it was only brought along specially to make our smoothies when the fruit looked like getting too ripe! Step into action one super-chef / Mr Fixit, AKA Ben. He dismantled the whole thing, with some force, then, alarmingly, threw half of it over the side,
put the tattered remains back together again and, Hey presto! We are once again a Smoothie Team - Amazing!
This has given us all a whole lot more motivation and so Fi got to doing her calisthenics ( exercises for some of you..) on the aft deck, in anticipation of a Big Catch, using her new favourite lure, "Bob" the Caribbean Squid.
More on that tomorrow.
For all our Mersea friends, please also note that Sue appears to be thoroughly enjoying her first taste of long distance Atlantic cruising. She is even here to be seen hanging out our Mersea artist's, colour co-ordinated tea towels!
Normally she cannot be moved from her favourite book reading position in the sun on the aft deck.
Can this lovely weather last, one dares ask?
