 Sucked myself into a fucking stupid position And I've had to put the engine on to get out of it The wind got up. This is an hour's block. The wind got up So I thought oh having you know Having had some contact from people saying oh, you're all right, and I wasn't moving. I talked myself in to moving So when the wind got up, I thought I'll make some progress and then everyone who's watching on the map Will know oh is all right. Look he's making good progress again Unfortunately the good progress again took me closer and closer to the shipping lanes Closer and closer to the shipping lanes, and then the wind died and now I'm here with no wind and Got traffic. It's gonna be a collision Not gonna be a collision. It's gonna be a collision risk So my only option was to put the engine on and drive away We look here So I was right in front of this guy here With no wind and going nowhere So I had to put the engine on and make a beeline 30 degrees off To get out of his way There's the rest of the traffic. That's the traffic lanes And I was kind of over here and got some wind came down came down lost the wind completely So there's a lesson there disregard everything every outside input you get from people who are not on the scene at the time and Make your own decisions based on all of the facts that you have Now if other people want to give you facts That's fine, but when they I don't want to say second guess you but when they Influence your decisions based on no other information, then you're just asking for your Decision to be to be shifted to be risky shifted Away from something that you an assessment that you made based on all of the facts that you have To adding something else, which isn't significant. I owe some other people might be worried Which which I allowed myself to be talked into doing something that was more risky Then the comfortable position I was in And I'm at the moment feeling really fucking angry with myself for allowing that to happen But I will be fine in five minutes time Actually, it's day seven and a half now So it's just approaching 1800 Zulu's six o'clock in the evening Zulu time. It's seven o'clock in the evening And I left Falmouth at 12 o'clock on well, I passed the manacles point at 12 o'clock last Sunday so seven days of city And yeah, we've had a bit of everything because we've had a storm we've had fog Fog and contacts nearby blowing the horn And be calmed we've been behind yesterday was behind most of the day And today was significant day because unfortunately I don't have a proper fridge I've got a cool box, but it takes a lot of electricity to keep it cool It's more electricity than I can afford. I've just got 110 watts of solar power and Because the windbane isn't working then the autopilot is taking all of the energy which means That everything in the fridge really needed eating almost everything. There's some cheese, which I think will last another day or two Um, but uh, so well the only thing really was the bacon And I had three packs of bacon left Bacon's a bit of a thing with me an ocean sailor Big one, they're all about that Um, so yeah this morning I fried off 30 rushes of bacon Put them in a little Tupperware box and I've just been eating bacon all day Frankly, I'm happy if I don't eat bacon again on the trip and I won't It's Portugal over there. We're kind of a beam uh porto now Yeah, and this weather's supposed to be like this Well, maybe not the weather like this but the wind like this from the north for the next few days So that should get me around the corner around the corner capes and vinscent And into the Bay of Cadiz Which is great Who knows you could be in Gibraltar in Three four days three days And I don't want to say three days. Let's say four days. We could be in Gibraltar for four days Maybe five five days is safely five days In some days we'll be in Gibraltar. I'm going to go with five That will make a total of 12 days to Gibraltar, which would be spectacular really I've been very very happy with that Um, we're not actually going to stop in Gibraltar unless something significant changes between now and then I've got a bit of fuel left. I've got plenty fuel left and I've got food for a month Not much milk I'm for milk. Oh Jesus the milk So I made a decision that instead of getting all uht milk Which lasts forever, which is the right thing to do On the morning on less Sunday morning. I would go and get a four liters worth of Fresh milk because it's nicer. It's frankly it's nicer and I like having the certain breakfast here already breakfast at porridge And I like to have that in the mornings When I'm being physically active, I wouldn't normally have it. Yeah, when I was a kid I used to have it every morning before my paper round and kept me going So and it's like a real comfort food Makes me feel you know good So I got plenty of ready-break and fresh milk to make it with And those first three days coming across viscay They actually turned the fresh milk into curds and whey I could have made butter out of it. It was all completely spoiled because it was churned up so much. It really wasn't churned up into butter unbelievable So I had to bend three liters of of milk Which means that I'm going to run out of milk Before I run out of everything else And that's a shame I've got plenty of tea bags. I can drink black tea. I don't like black coffee Black tea I can just pick up. But that's the only thing really that I'm short of short of I'm short of a wind vane This is that thing really old man And I'm short of Otherwise all is good, all is good
