Make & mend

Usually a day off spent repairing the ship, the rigging, your clothes, etc.

Today was spent repairing myself, yesterday's sailing got me quite knackered so after some hesitation and being almost ready to go in the morning, I opted for a day of nap, playing music, doing laundry, etc. And pondering my next stops, but the weather looks rather changing and unsure for the next few days… But, at any rate, the forecast predicts less wind than the past days, so I might have to be more subtle in my sailing to take advantage of what is there.

Seeing the ferry boats ply back and forth across the channel all day long reminded me of when I was sailing in yesterday. Arriving at full speed and trying to judge when they would cast off and where they would be when I reach their lane since, well, big ships have priority over little sailboats. It was a bit like in the old video games, trying to judge the pattern of the turtles in Super Mario 🤣. My timing wasn't perfect, and I had to deviate to stay clear of both ferry boats, but it was all good 😊

Now, early dinner and a good night's rest to be ready for tomorrow!
