Another grey day here under the quilt. The wind has started to come from the NE and gradually we’re moving east.
Sailing lots of miles but not as many to our goal of Bass Strait. 741 on the GPS here at 5:30am local.
I remember all the funny local time zones in Australia and I think I will be switching to UTC just to get passed it. Hopefully less time consuming!
I started another book today. A spoof on all the idiosyncrasies of Australian life. Written by an America. Hilarious! (Australians have idiosyncracies ? Really?)
Because of the acute motion, I’ll be spending most of the day in my bunk reading, so thank gawd I have something funny to read.
Hope you’re having a good day.
Dear Glenn and Marylou,
Thinking of both of you crazy kids. Happy sailing Glenn. If I may be so bold as to suggest writing a children’s book of your adventures so that I can read to our granddaughter. “Follow your dream” Beatrice is what I will tell her. Happy Christmas Glenn and Marylou. Love, Pat and Fred
Let me put it to him Pat. I think it’s a fine idea. Happy Christmas to you and your family. ML and G
