the sailing life for me

This week has been hectic, emotionally & physically largely because my daughter left home. It was planned weeks in advance so there was no shock per se, but the act of separating has been upsetting, she isy confidante. I can talk to her like no other & she is caring & kind. So I've been finding the lack of casual support has been tough.  
By no means did this outweigh the burden of carting a fully laden truck & float a cross the state. Man it was a tough drive, the Land Rover is one noisy, rattly, jostling bitch! Apart from the actual drive bring tiring, the behicle made it worse. Then I had to drive back with little sleep. 
At my age a big effort like that leaves you feeling flat for most of the next week. While I haven't made progress on the Hebridean build, by having my daughter move out, my domestic workload has greatly reduced. Perhaps this all I can chalk up to boat work this week.

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.
