holding my cards

Every day I check the longterm weather forecasts as if my life depended on it. Maybe it does.

The Belgians sailed off this morning - but they're headed west over the top of Scotland and down the east coast on Britain. So sailing today makes sense.

I'm headed south, possibly down the west coast of Ireland so I wait for more favorable conditions.

The German in his 25 ton steal monster (which I've nicknamed "Bismark II") is heading out for the Mediterranean later today. I told him he'd be better waiting a few days but he set on today and that's that. He seems enthusiastic but not too bright.

An American boat just sailed in to take the place the Belgians had vacated. I'll have to call by to what's up.

All for now,

Simon
