Ok dont get me wrong i love to sail , enjoy being on the boat , but ONE thing you will not ever change in me is the fear of the dark , now add that too sailing with swelling of the waves as we are trying to get back to Mackay to have that Medical Form done on the 17th . It would have not been so bad , but when you are trusting a nagvigation chart , and sailing in the pitch blackness with NO moonight , you cant see 2 foot in front of your face
and here i am fixing a meatloaf and veggies on top of it all , and TRAX our boat is sailing across the beam of the breaking waves , this time shes NOT rocking but hobbyhorsing !! i managed to balance myself to fix the freakin meatloaf and get it in the stove while being thrown from the bow to the stern of her ship .
Needless to say i was not a happy housewife :/ i had to ask my skipper " why does it seem like we are the only idots sailing in the pitch blackness ??? "& You have to amagine this and the only light is the anchor light on the mast and two lights on her bow the red one on the left ( port ) and the right one green ( stern ) but that is for the other ships to see us ??
;I kept thinking to mysef and i was getting madder by the minute "thanks immigration " you have to ruin a good time just for a health exam that HAS to be done NOW , when we was enjoying a beautiful trip up North to whithaven beach and Whit Sundays , " oh its fine we can sail back 2 days out of the way just for you " grrrrrr
We did manage to make it to Lindmen Island to Achor there for the night
i was too tired and ratteled to hardlly eat the meatloaf
God must know all my weaknesses cause the DARK is one of them :(
Psalm 56:3 what time i am afraid i will trust in theee
and i must have said that over a hundered times .
Oh yes Dad i did have my life jacket on ....
