Saturday, April 11, 2009Easter tidings....
A fine day, warmer and sunny followed by a magnificent full moon lighting the silvery waves this evening. Few miles clawed to the east. There were many flocks of birds crossing our path today heading north - I wonder if they're off to warmer climes for winter. Not sure what they were, seabirds for sure, maybe muttonbirds, though they looked a little smaller and very fleet of foot they were too. The wind generator seems to be working loose somewhere as makes a hell of a racket, can't find where though, hoope its still up top in the morning... Now I must admit i 'm not familiar with the etiquette of Easter at sea. Not quite sure what we'll do. Of course there will be eggs for all the crew, then perhaps after church and communion (not for stan - he's not confirmed), I fancy a treasure hunt might be in order before our sumptuous luncheon. I'm also not sure what we will substitute the pascal lamb with - perhaps a paschal fur seal - plump and juicy a little underdone with barnacle sauce... Right best be off to doze must not miss church in the morn....posted by Olly Hicks @ 4:47 AM
