No milestones.
No events.
No visitors.
NO FISH!
The only thing John and Steve have caught is a cold.
Haven’t been able to read or stay on the computer for very long. The swells and winds have been quite high today making the dipping, rising and crashing over the waves very pronounced. I’ve been borrowing Steve’s MP3 and listening to music rather than reading. It’s nice to block out most of the continuous roar and banging of the waves with soothing music.
My night shift was a bit wild. The wind picked up and the swells increased to about ten to twelve feet. The moonlight lit up the wall of sea rising and falling behind me as we glided over the swells. Standing at the helm with the wind whipping around me I listened to my player. The music and elemental forces around me was like some madness. I found myself shrieking like a Banshee and dancing and whirling around like a Dervish. Am I going insane!
Helen,
You are my hero!!! I love reading your adventures. Hang in there……sailing is alot more fun than you’re having!!! Congratulations on passing the 8 day mark…that’s the longest I’ve been at sea. You’re right though….the noise is loud…isn’t that amazing….in the middle of the ocean, sailing…but alot of noise. Wait till you hit land….the greens will be amazingly green!!!!
Love you and hang in there….
Ann
