Rain??

Experienced our first bit of rain yesterday since arriving! We had almost forgotten what it is like?!? Mainly during the night so it reminded us of being back in the BVI where you often get night squalls and showers. Anyway it has done th ground good as everything was so dry. It has also freshened the air so that is pleasant too.

My task today is laundry as all the bedsheets and towels need washing so will take them to the laundrette as I is easier to handle the bulk then. I also hav another task if stitching the ends of our new bedsheets or rather lengths of cotton as we could not find what we wanted in the store. The material came from a huge haberdashery shop which sold everything a dressmaker could want! You just do not see these in England anymore.

The World Cruising Club have allocated a blog for us to write text and upload pictures so next month when we get nearer to our crossing I will start using the official daily log which can be found on the World Cruising site under World ARC 2012/13 Daily Logs then look for Trompeta!!
