The women from Hell

This morning we arranged to meet Betsey in the center of town were she would take us out to lunch at Millies in Madaket.  After waiting for an hour in the sun Betsey finally arrived and drove us to Millies.  We were lucky to make it there since she must have violated loads of driving rules and didn't really know were she was going.  We later found out that here eyesight is shot.  Anyway Millies was a bust where I ended up just having a coke and icecream cone.

After lunch Betsy took us to see Sebastian at the Linda Loring Nature Foundation a peice of conversation land in the Island.  After an impressive walk and introduction  to the fondation we part our ways in town.

Peter arranges dinner with Betsey but I shy away, I simple could not take another evening!

I instead watch the Man Utd V Man City match and have a great Pizza at Oaths.  I did purchase the kids some new leads and a cat collar but must have left them at the Town tavern ;(.

Bay of Biscay - Prison Boat Bluejay Conclusion

 Draft 1 Conclusion Was it worth it? Not really sure! Did I learn anything? Not really (well that is with regards sailing anyway, which is a shame as I have a lot to learn). However the skip didn’t really make an atmosphere conducive to learning, and didn’t allow us to make our own decisions and mistakes.  We should have been allowed to skipper the boat / sail the boat at some time during the second half. We should have been allowed to pass the instructions to our fellow crew members thus really could have been done on our rostered navigation days and thus really would have allowed us to learn and gain confidence, instead all we did was follow orders and be quietly barked at, admonished when we were unable to follow them either immediately or quickly enough or due to inclement weather. I cannot be sure but I genuinely believe that this is why one original crew member left on arrival at Gijón (he had skipped to watch shifts after being admonished on his last watch), and I have a lot of

Bay of Biscay - 2

 Please see a Friday Breakfast done (bacon - hooray!) we start a new rota, myself and Linda carry out the IWOBBLED check on the engine.   Set sail at around 12:30 having completed the three S’s We sail to Artedo where we hone are incredible sailing skills.  We anchor in Artedo, a pretty little cove with an ugly two tier road bridge overhead.  “Dinner” is again served - not too bad some kind of vegetarian stew with white rice.  Saturday Breakfast of Sugar Puffs and then straight off to Ribadeo at 10:30. Another fine day of sailing had by the now well oiled crew! Today Lind and myself are the boats Chefs.    We amaze the crew with a comfort food lunch of Ham and Cheese Toasties - a truly superb dish!   After a reasonable adventurous sail we dock in Ribadeo where Linda and myself again stun everyone with a fabulous cat food stew (Tuna, pasta and the usual tomato source tin). So good that there is a rush for seconds before a birthday cake is brought out for the Helena, the birthday girl.
