Well not quite, more like disabled and too old cabin boy’s log. We made it across the Channel and we’re now in St Peter Port on Guernsey. Yesterday we went from Plymouth to Salcombe, we had a potter round Salcombe in the afternoon and had a pasty for a late lunch. Got to have a look round some of the shops. Bought loads of sweets from the sweet shop, some scrumpy and some Perry from the off-licence too. Then we had a drink in one of the bars.

We had to get the water taxi from the boat/visitors pontoon to the town. Getting on and off that was a little hair raise for me. Yes, I grew up round boats but having to do that when disabled was scary. It also increased the amount of pain I was in too. Large step, not so easy anymore.

Nothing really to report from the journey to Guernsey. Only wildlife we saw were birds floating and bobbing along. No idea what kind of birds they were. They could have been extremely rare or common as muck. We’ll never know.

I finished on of my holiday knitting projects. A nice bright little baby hat with Pom poms:

Thought of a name for a new fashion house that specialises in knitted garments. Chanel du Fritha. I think it sounds good, only the odd baby hat to add to the autumn collection but hey ho nowt to worry about. Fritha from the name of the boat we’re on and Chanel because we were crossing the English Channel.

Pain and spazzy legs have been present today, not great, but must keep the chin up and carry on. I have also had a painful eye this evening. I think it’s from putting sun cream on my mush earlier and I think some went in my eye. Think it got worse tonight due to getting warm or something. As I’m writing this the burning has started. All over my chest, neck, arms, hands and legs, everywhere. Not sure how I’m going to deal with this. Might have to go outside and get cold not sure though.

It has been quite a nice day today though. Sunny and dry all day. Not too hot or too cold just right. Like a Goldilocks kind of day. The trip over wasn’t too bumpy either, but that doesn’t bother me that much anyway. Years ago we bounced across Lyme Bay in a force 6 gusting 9. After coming round Portland Bill. Now that was fun! Fritha got a new Galley out of that trip.

Anyway short and sweet check in about today’s activities.
