28 May – the last few days
I’ve had another wet and wild night and another beaut of a day. And now it’s quite calm outside but pouring with rain! I’ve done the rain-catching, the sun sights, the attempted fishing and am journeying through “Sailing to the reefs” with Bernard Moitessier. His writing is such a tonic and to be currently sailing part of the route he describes in this book makes it so much more than just a novel. His diet of pretty much anything that would fit in his pressure cooker including penguins and cormorants, and his penchant for flying fish for breakfast after clearing his deck in the morning is where we stop sharing philosophies however!
