DianaDank Tilting Nights
March 7th 2008 11:07
Think of me tomorrow night when you are all comfortably and warmly tucked up in bed. Will your floor be tilting? I don't think so. Will you have wet cold feet, dank fog dripping into your neck or the sound of plovers nearby? Possibly not.
Neither will you probably have spent the earlier part of your night clinging perilously to a crazily pitching vessel. That might be the way my night pans out tho, as I spend it taking part in the 2008 Marlay Point Overnight Yacht Race, held in east Gippsland Victoria. Who cares? I hear you ask. So what? Bring on the dancing girls, where are the pictures?
Well, just thought I'd share it with you cos as you know I am a compulsive 'writer' and after all, I gotta tell you something.
but. anyway.
It's true I don't have (yet) any photos of naked women or bikini clad girls to raise the 'hit' level of this blog, and possibly nobody but my loyal friends (or maybe not even them) are actually reading any of this rubbish I churn out, but still.
Gotta go.
Still have to make a dozen heavy fruit cakes and 2 dozen ham rolls for the voyage (the token woman is neede for ballast, food, managing the stop watch and applying sunscreen) not to mention jars of marmalade for scurvy and ginger biscuits for sea-sickness) as ordered by cap'n.
As I write, my husband is replacing the broken axle on the boat trailer in the driveway(in the dark), while round the corner my brother is busy in his driveway trying to fix his faulty electric winch.
Meanwhile my nine year old son informs me he feel sick and did I know Angelica vomited 3 times in class today?
Should be a fun weekend. Will try to keep you posted!
If lucky, I may be able to snatch a few hours unc omfortable sleep in the forecabin.
