As the sun set last night over Costa del Kirby, talk was of what might have been, who got the snakes, who climbed the ladders, and if a Wetherspoons could be classified as an athlete's breakfast if you had the black pudding as an extra.
The OD was heard to say: "I'm totally relaxed [or was that relapsed?] about today. After yesterday, surely the fleet can cope with three marks and a gate. I'm sure they can all count to three..."
A fresh challenges was that the wind was from the east - force 3 with f4 gusts, in any direction!
The seal population was again on hand to witness the variety of techniques used in these gusts... not all of them conducive to a good VMG.
Same wind and sunshine tomorrow please... but a little less East!
