BLUEMOMENT

No-one is speaking to me after my no-show at the weekend.

Well - I do apologise - fairly knackered at present- usual end of the academic year situation so a combination of that and the rather poor weather forecast caused me to stay at home.

The barrage of rude texts and messages were really welcome and obviously on hearing and reading them I wished I'd made the effort.

Stand a few rounds next weekend and everyone will soon forget all about it.

Oh, "absent friends" were duly toasted in appropriate fashion.

On Saturday we had a short motor / sail / motor in light winds to Puilldobhraoin where both lunch and dinner were partaken of aboard. (Whisper it not, but the pub wasn't visited!)

On Sunday I amused myself playing with the boat's wiring while waiting for the tide and Shard headed NE - more or less dead to windward. I then had a genoa run back to Craobh.
