Another day of bright sunshine blue skies and a gentle following breeze which ever so slowly is easing me home. The little Meerkat Mansion of a fixed dodger is allowing a gentle flow through of air so the 27C in the cabin feels neither hot nor cold with the saloon and shower hatches opened. I laughed uproariously at Tina Fey’s Bossy Pants, was absorbed by A Nazi Officers Wife and an early Hedidit Dostoyevsky’s Crime and Punishment took up most of the last few days reading time. No flying fish to report and the complete absence of any sea birds may be a reason for no luck with the lure. One more day with the BarraGrabber and then I’ll switch back to that tattered pink and white plastic squid. If nothing is caught I may just run out of tinned fish which will be missed but this should not be a problem as far as protein is concerned. With plenty of eggs flour and oil for protein in pancakes, dried fruit milk and oats for breakfast and rice and beans for dinner, not counting the six boxes of ration packs still to be opened I should arrive back with a cholesterol count to boast about. It is not possible to have too much coffee on board so let us say the supplies are adequate with sufficient methylated spirits to brew it up whenever I fancy.
