L'Eau Commotion Westabout

2:00pm Sunday 14th January 2018 ( UTC-4 ) Why they call it Lake Drake you'll have to ask Kaye Clegg but my guess is because it's like a duck pond and here is one of the male inhabitants. Last seen he was swimming homewards towards Staten Island 18 miles away and I could imagine the chilly reception when he finally arrived back at the nest. The excuse that he had to swim against a 3 knot Current because there was no wind didn't wash . Why didn't you get a lift home with that Japanese fishing boat like the rest of my friends husbands. You mean the Chinese trawler Tai An? didn't smooth the ruffled feathers and then the question - did you bring home the squid like I asked - was answered with a sort of burp and the kids who'd been squabbling till then really knew what a great dad they had when presented with some lovely cuttle fish. Not as nutritious in Mum's eyes but the crunchy bits were beaut. Any now with the kids all settled for the night she enquired what really kept him. He explained he was just trying to cheer u p an old guy in a yacht that had been drifting aimlessly all morning. The other guys in surrounding nests all nodded - what with the Whitbread and the Vendee they'd all been there. --------------000708030101030206000208--
