SEA GYPSIES
News this morning from ARC control is that Kealoha has spotted a 50 foot dead whale floating near the surface, which is a considerable hazard to a small yacht!
Not much happening today other than a gourmet lunch by Barry, my first sighting of 3 small whales and because we are terminally bored of motoring with a SOG of 4-4.5 knots a Sea Gypsy party is arranged complete with disco lights and a small relaxation of the no alcohol policy - 4 bottles of wine (the gathering clan thought I had said one litre per person not I litre for the entire party, I narrowly avoided a mutiny with the now unfamiliar sound of the corkscrew). Although it was a Sea Gypsy theme to the party we were gate crashed by some pirates including Malcy who sported a hook instead of a hand, which after he had taken it off to eat dinner Lori sat on with rather
painful results!
