Woke late today. Didn't dream, thank goodness. Today's another day. Immediately burst into action, determined to 'cram' as much in as possible. Started by hoisting my special flag - hope this doesn't make me racist. Never sure nowadays. 
Then fixed a few bits and bobs, including the outboard engine. Just as well because a very long row to village against massive tides. Couple of things I've started to notice ( as a 'man of the sea'). Firstly, my hands are cut to pieces. Secondly, apart from the occasional, sea induced, horrors this is quite relaxing. It's taken me 8 days to even consider saying that but I'm starting to see some attraction.
It's difficult to consider a world beyond my little world. Very relaxing except yesterday when the sea nearly popped in to visit ( sorry but it was that bad I'm having trouble 'moving on' - thanks for listening!)
NEWS FLASH - My son, Sam, has finally noticed I'm missing and ...... phoned me !!!!! Didn't say much but he is14. Love you xx
Right, aside from going to the Griffin and fixing things I've spend a couple of hours going 'hi tech'. I'm gonna start putting video on blog, if this clip works.
It's poor quality but bits a start and the dolphins are real.
Hopefully leave for Fishguard at 5am, weather dependant

some lovely photos occurring on your journey - I didn't realise you could stop off at pubs but sounds like you need it after the drama battling the elements :o) btw the Alan and Margaret vid is settled on dropbox now but my laptop says it doesn't have enough memory to mail it to you :o(
Hi Alan, Your mum doesn't like the sound of the storms that are due and the Irish Channel, maybe you should head for port and put her mind at rest, she says. But she still wishes you the very best. Xx Ps she says Make sure you have your rubber ring on at all times! :)
She is having a lovely time in York, and Nero will never want to go home, as the children are all making a fuse of him. Mum sends her love. Xxxxxxxx
Pps We love the video, especially the dolphins! :D
Brilliant video mate of the dolphins.
Whoops got it wrong about the dolphins - they are a big hit on your blog ! What the f*#*k do I know xxxx
Brillint video mate, lovin the blog, keep it up Al...Keith
Who would have known you had such technical wizardry ? I am all for a big fish, yep dolphins nice. You may be able to write a good pub guide after this. I am hoping your spiritual development is coming along a treat. Keep safe and here's to some dry and dream free nights
Hurrah for the special flag!! I am so impressed by your journey. I now occupy your old corner. I think it needs a special flag of its own! Happy sailing! Lee. X
