The Humidity Is Hell!

Tonight's update was quick. The boat is now along side and Allan did a quick walk about on the boat. He says there are a few things that need fixing, but overall Ryen's Quest is in pretty good shape considering the weather she just battled enroute to Bermuda.

Today was not the day to begin any work on her. The guys found, or rather could see, a charming little pub from where the boat was tied. They have decided to go there and find a corner to hide in so not to offend anyone with their salty sea man smells. After a decent meal, they will return to the boat for what they hope will be a decent night's sleep. Tomorrow, with fresh eyes and some sleep under their belt they will begin the task of doing a more thorough inspection of our girl and make a list of things that need some attention. Al loves his lists!

For those of us who are enjoying the Maritime weather, Allan wants us to know that the humidity in Bermuda is hell. Wow, better him than me, eh?

Al has asked me to extend his thanks to everyone who has emailed him and also to those who have left messages on the blog. He wishes there had been something more exciting to write on the blog, but I don't think I could have handled too much more excitement. As far as I know, the Coast Guard has still not been able to get in touch with the other vessel from the Halifax area. I hope the vessel and those aboard are all right. I would also like to thank those who called me, asking for updates and offering their support. I appreciate every call and I know that Al rests easy knowing that we have a circle of friends who I can go to during his absence.

Unless the sky falls, I hope to join Allan on Tuesday or Wednesday. I need to find out first hand that the humidity is that BAD! And more importantly I need to know that he is all right. My next entry may be from the cockpit of Ryen's Quest in Bermuda. Yippee!

Allan said he saw Tuna fish....hundreds of pounds each! I am gonna get me one of those babies. Wonder what kind of a worm you would use to convince the tuna to nibble on your hook. I think I have a book on fishing.
