 filthy isn't it and it's getting a bit baggy now as well, bloody expensive though so we'll use it till it falls apart. I should get it laundered, maybe that's what I could do over the winter to get it off and get it laundered, it's got all those fancy batten and carb things, not easy to take off, very easy to drop and to raise but not easy to remove but I got the I got the head sail laundered last year so I should really do the mainsail this year although I got it laundered and of course the day that I put it back on the next day there was a storm of rain and filth and it was dirty again which is a shit but I did get a bit of stitching done on it as well I got a bit of a problem with that at the moment, this is continuous line, continuous line now can we see it, it's all oil up there, it's continuous line and there's a join obviously to make this a loop you've got to join it end to end, the way you join it end to end it's not quite perfectly the same diameter and everything and the problem is it doesn't like to go through the join doesn't like to go through the the furler you can see the furler up there the front so if I furl it the correct way with the uv strip on the outside it doesn't quite fully furl up by the time the join gets up there and then it gets jammed and I don't want to force I don't put too much pressure on it so I have to leave a rag end of genuine sticking out which doesn't look pretty and is not good so I'll be furling up the other way with the uv on the inside which defeats the purpose of having uv but at least it fails properly I can fix it I just need to take the sail off or take the sheets off and then wind it round a few times and then and then put the sheets back on but I won't do that now I'll do that when we get back to Valencia right that is your morning update on the morning of day three there's a boat over there another one oh no they're not boats marker boys or something yeah my eyesight's shot I had great eyesight when I was younger I used to spot submarine masks five ten miles away attack ends they called me well once but now I can I can barely read the the displays I have to use glasses now for reading and glasses for distancing and my right eye's got one of those stigma things and I see like a bit of double when I'm shooting looking through my telescopic sight I have two vision of two versions I have to decide which one is the real one to go for to aim for I think you can get an operation get it removed I ought to go to an optician really don't like opticians don't like doctors what do you like Dave don't know turn the camera off Dave you're embarrassing yourself now all right it's a nice mountain over there a case of big fish eating little fish jolly fun time skipping in and dancing in the uh in the cockpit as it were underneath the spray hood keep a scan do some nav chit chat on the radio send my position on the Garmin do something on the phone see that my chart table down there and I have to lean back but I can also see the nav instrument and the main thing is it's about 150 degrees centigrade out there and in here I'm in the shade it's a hot one Barcelona there and yeah it's on the starboard side because I've turned around I just got a I got the updated weather and the winds are such that it would be a real struggle to get across the Gulf of Leon and around Corsica it would take days and days and days and days because it's because there's so much so much calm air and they would be relying only on the sea breezes when they picked in most of the time and there's no way south easily to get into the the uh easterly flow that's running through the south of the Mediterranean again big black hole with no wind between here and Mallorca and I don't want to just plow through diesel just to get there um so we will do the same as we've just done except more upwind than downwind so the momentum's away the genoa is out and we're not close hold we're on close reach and we'll make the best of whatever wind we get I'll stay closer to shore I think on the way back just to get absolute advantage of those winds and uh it's what is it it's uh almost six o'clock on Sunday so Friday Saturday two and a half days to get here and I would imagine it's going to take at least that to get back so Monday Tuesday Wednesday Monday Tuesday Wednesday Friday Thursday um I guess I'll get back on Wednesday or Thursday have a look at the winds and Tuesday might be tricky well tomorrow is going to be tricky as well and if I if I'm really slow the good news is that on Thursday there were loads of wind to get me home so uh yeah there we go but it's you know five six days sailing and then I'll do a bit of work a bit of maintenance on the boat I've got so much to do but keeping an eye on the on the winds and when the winds are nice I'll go to the Balerics and back if the winds are no good I won't might even have a night in a hotel with some air conditioning just to cool myself down a bit because it's hot man that was one of my main considerations um I'm drinking three liters four liters a day and uh although I've got a ton because I've filled the main tank and filled my 25 liter emergency bottle and I've still got another four eight twelve thirteen fifty seventeen seventeen so that will be seventeen plus 25 plus about 50 in the in the main tank so I have got enough water if I take into account the main tank but that main tanks taste a bit cruddy so I didn't want to do it and I'm on my holidays so I'm not doing it that's Barcelona airport over there we're flying to there when I say we I mean Swiss right well let's see how fast we can get home
