He's the Owl, I'm the Pussy Cat. And we're buying a boat. Here's how it goes…. June 30, 2015. A Burgee and a Jackstaff. Don’t worry, I had to Google them too. And I live here. Today’s the day! I’ve got through the last week by trying to do a new thing every day. Yesterday I made a new burgee. To quote our lovely new skipper:. You didn’t want to be our jackstaff in them, let me tell you. Our boat in profile, where you may or may not be able to see that the jackstaff is taller than the wheelhouse. The Owl ...

He's the Owl, I'm the Pussy Cat. And we're buying a boat. Here's how it goes…. June 27, 2015. A new-ish Alternator and Slippery Crew. After the crushing disappointment of Sunday, this has been the longest week I can remember.

I had a bit of a headache. Over the course of a few days and a few more symptoms, I realised I might have a Situation. Hmmm. Still negative. Hmmm. I reviewed the facts and checked my calendar. It started about three weeks ago. My main symptoms are occasional waves of nausea and dizziness. You are commenting us...
