  • Slow group both away for tomorrow
    Head west and see how we go

    Life is peaceful there
    (Go West) In the open air
    (Go West) Where the skies are blue
    (Go West) This is what we're gonna do

  • Captain seasick and confined to bed.
    Usual eclectic mix of CCA members - about 10 out.
    FD navigated a pleasant pootle around a version of Two Bridges.
    40 miles at Pirate pace.
    Most enjoyable - will be back.

    9 out on the Black Pig for the 2 Bridges special - out into the wind and blown back on a strong westerly current.

    39 miles @ 17.4mph. A bit quicker than forecast but no-one left overboard.

    Rain held off thankfully and reasonably dry.

    Some flotsam and jetsam in the sea lanes after yesterday's gusts.

    No Cap'n today, after he decided to rest, stay in his cabin and lie on the deck.

    Plus ca change.

    Now I had a back ache on me backache
    Backache Backache!
    I jumped into the bath full of cold water
    The firey Jack had made me backache
    Backache Backache!
    I'm worse than before I can't take anymore
    Oh no!!!

  • Captain flat on his back on the floor
    Not self inflicted for a change
    Slept until mid afternoon
    Sounds like the Pig sailed well
    Good to see some of the crew after
    Hope normal service will resume next week

  • Another Hitchin to London commute this morning via an amended route.

    Lovely warm morning, no wind, with just the half-moon and stars in the sky when I set off at 5am (NOT the Rushden pub!) and not too hot, arriving before 8am.

    42 miles @ 15mph
