Towards Europe Wed 16th
16 July 2014
All is well. Congratulations to Kevins daughter Pip who graduated from Queen Mary yesterday with a high 2.1. in Theatre Studies. Also to her mum Janee who celebrates a big birthday today. Wanda is still motoring her way northwards hunting for wind but only finding flat sea. We still haven't reached the point at which the rig broke last time. However we have just this minute pulled out the genoa to catch a little breeze that has arisen under some mares tails in the sky. The spouts of some enormous whales are receding aft in the distance and ahead there seem to be a few white horses or rather white shetland ponies hinting at the promise of more breeze to come. Pasta for.... hold on, the whale has surfaced a mere couple of hundred yards away. Off to try and get some pictures.
