Pulling teeth without anaesthetic, getting blood out of a stone, sleep deprivation with a newborn, chinese water torture or being made to watch big brother - all of these options seem to be slightly more attractive than the one the poor boys on Hot Stuff are faced with at the moment. I have calculated that in the two hours between 1400 and 1600hrs today they managed to progress 4.27 nautical miles!! Well at least the good news is that they progressed and are still heading in the right direction.
There is nothing worse than after a long race you get becalmed on your way home - you're ready to come on in and it's like your car has just run out of petrol in the middle of nowhere - in Hookie's case on the way to Ullapool after passing the last petrol station with an unimpressed wife as passenger - when that happened he said - it's fine we'll be fine - whether he is playing I-spy or first one to see with the crew at the moment I don't know but what we do know is that they will be watching the sea very carefully and looking up to the sky for any indication of windy hope.
Looking forward to an ETA soon.
