My sleep pattern has gone wrong! Having gone to bed early, l was hoping to sleep better, but l woke at 1130hrs and was awake until 0300hrs. Then l slept until 0940hrs! By the time l finished breakfast it was 1120hrs, this was crazy it was messing up the days!
I was lazy today, never went for a walk, just did a little cleaning and relaxing in the sunshine, with the day drifting on by. I felt peckish again quite early, so put my dinner on at 1700hrs. After dinner l relaxed in the cabin until dark when l closed up the companion way hatch, closed the curtains and switched on the cabin light. I wasn’t going to bed to early because that hadn’t worked last night!
Then a similar awake period durring the next night, but I didn’t wake up again in the morning until 0940hrs! Now Sunday I was going home today for new stores, diesel, water. I also had some phone called and apointments to make. There wasn’t any hurry to get going. The forecast gave no wind in the morning but picking up to a west-northwest force 4 in the afternoon, so I slowly got Elektra ready to leave.
Pulling up here anchor at 1200hrs, I motored her down river to St Mawes and set sail in a west-northwest force 2 at 1230hrs. Elektra covered the next 5nm to Gillan Harbour in 1hr 40mins, at times almost felt like she was at a standstill but having done so much motoring this season, I didn’t want to start her engine.
Love Sailing
