Writers block

I think I have writers block, maybe brought on by too much sun. So here are a couple of photos

Our track (in yellow) since we have been in Bahamas, today on our way to Moraine Cay.

Sleeping in the after noon , an essential activity.

Crazy changes in sea colour turquoise , to dark blue.

I suspect that the difficulty Phil is having is down to the acute stress that we are all under! Keeping the boat moving along at her optimum performance level, requires all of us to be on our mettle at all times, know our specific jobs, and be able to compensate for one another, if someone were to drop a notch or two. An example of this has occurred in the last few minutes, when Vince left the helm with Phil, he promptly fell asleep and I had to take over! 

It's tough out here.

Picked up a signal last evening that meant we could be in contact with loved ones for the first time in a couple of days. Rain and storms in blights we hear, snow in Orillia etc. feel a bit guilty having this wall to wall sunshine!

Watched 'Captain Phillips' last night. Possibly not the best film to watch in our circumstance, although thoroughly enjoyed. We have tightened up security arrangements as a result. Phil looks smart with his pointed mop handle. In place of hoses Peter will throw tea cups full of water at would be invaders and I have been practicing swinging from the mast top with a saucepan. Our greatest wheeze though is to tow Vince's wallet from a long line, which we hope means that no pirate will have need to board us! Wish us luck.

Generally speaking boat life is good. Lots of relaxation, perfect sailing conditions much of the time and good eating.

Did we mention that Phil made Chapati's to go with our curry? Genius.
