This morning the RIB dropped people at Cawsands. The scientists went to do their beach surveys but I went for a walk along to coastal path to Penlee. There used to be a gun battery on the hill here but there’s not much to see nowadays. I keep walking to the hamlet of Rame where there’s an interesting stone church. Then I walk back to the beach and join the others for a pub lunch.
There’s another storm coming this afternoon so we go back to the Pelican at 2pm. It’s a bit more splashy than usual getting back on board as the rain and the wind begin to pick up.
Sunday is laundry day for Cabin 7 so it’s important to get my clothes in the machine. There’s a regular washing machine and tumble drier tucked in a corner of the ship.
The crew decide we should have “Happy Hour” cleaning the ship and put on Sea Shanties to raise those of us who are napping.
I pass on dinner as I’m still full from my lunchtime halloumi burger.
We hear that we’re going to be leaving at 8am tomorrow. This is good news as it was going to be 4am and my watch crew would be on duty. Hooray! Half an hour later I hear that we’re going to have pairs of people on anchor watch for 2 hour slots overnight, and I’m on 4am to 6am. Oh well.
