I was in the Fwd Port watch this time around and my watch leader was a guy called Bill who is probably late 60’s or in his 70’s. He’s sailed something like 12 times since 2001 (with JST I mean) and has done 21,000 nautical miles. His goal is 25,000 which is the [...]

So I got to my holiday on the Saturday after a long train journey. It was mid afternoon, I was tired and just about DONE. Traveling to Liverpool alone and then onto the hotel was slightly more stressful than I had anticipated and so the spoon draw got emptied faster than planned.

I’m home. and I’m knackered. and I’ll update properly tomorrow. But I wanted to post quickly to ask a favour of all of you.

I’m doing another talk to the Rotary Club tomorrow. About the trip they sponsored me on last summer with JST.
I did have plans to write a lot here about that but the words don’t seem to want to come and I’ve been sat here with this screen minimised thinking (and playing chainz 2) for [...]

Another meme, Becki tagged me for this one.
A- Attached or Single? Single and very very happy like that. No plans to change that whatsoever
B- Best Friend: I am not a fan of the concept of a “best friend” because it just ends up being stressful when you say my best friend is so and [...]

Funky Mango tagged me for the following survey
The rules are simple. There are 9 questions (3 to the power of 2), each of which has 3 answers, to give a total of 27, or 3 to the power of 3. The whole point is that the questions are somewhere between eclectic, [...]
