SATURDAY 21JAN23
0952. am chores complete,  but as I'm sailing today (hopefully), they were slapdash.  Enough food & water for all,  no bread for us humans though.  :0
Weather is clear & calm,  SE winds,  then E, are forecast to be below 7kn, so a quiet sail.  I've just routed an endless job sheet,  this will allow me to trim & let fly,  from the windward rail. But Mia needs to get hay after work,  so has the Land Rover tied up until dark.  So,  to go sailing,  I need to use Joe's previous Suzi. I have leverage regarding his need to to a driving test next week.  Tough love, which hge reacts poorly to,  so I'll schmooze it out of him. 
Looking forward to go sailing .

1000. Went to  Lostock Dam for a sail in light conditions. Furler broke,  but endless sheet was  unbelievably easy to sail with.  Lovely day,  returned close to 1800hrs.

If I wasn't actually sailing I would be working on my boat getting things ready. I spent two enjoyable winters on the tropical north.  In later life, I've mowed lawns for an income & continued to swim & sail when I can.  As old surfers know, there's a toll on your skin. Some surfers I know have died or been treated for skin cancer, so it's a vocational hazard.  Added to this, I have a genetic weakness towards skin cancer. My great grandmother passed in midlife & her daughter, my grandmother, had several skin grafts on her nose to manage skin cancer.  Last month my younger brother Pete had a ...

mass political deception

On the day a gunman nicked ex president Trump's ear the world politcians decried violence as evil, undemocratic & so on, more than 39 people were killed in Palestine. These events highlight mass hypocrisy across the world with regards violence & race.  No one in the media industry will ever mention this hypocrisy.
