Week 17 - Monday - Ifracombe

After our overnight sail, we spent most of last evening trying to stay awake. We just about made it through the 'Inbetweeners' film before going to
bed at 22:00.

It is now 12 hours later, and I have only just woken up. Sleeping beauty is still asleep I think!

I have not slept that long for many years. I have concluded that there are two possible reasons:

1) The ravages of old age have stripped us of our resilience and stamina.

2) We have once again reverted to our 18 year old selves and sleeping late is a consequence of that!

Whichever is true, once up we will be spending the day here as gales are forecast in the Bristol Channel.

Today's photo shows First Mate Griffiths surveying the weather in Padstow. Either that, or he is looking for a pasty shop!
