Well, here goes!

Off to pack my stuff for the sailing trip now - I think I've got everything I need. I'm both excited and nervous. The taxi's coming at 04.30 tomorrow to take me to catch the coach to Heathrow, so I really should go to bed early. But I won't be able to sleep very easily so I might as well stay up as normal.

Did I mention that I was a bit excited?

See you all in a week's time!

Fair winds and following seas, mate--

And two possibly useful things:

"Up you're aft" (the farther back a group of lines is, the higher on the mast the sail they control is)

"Can't bloody remember/learn" (Clew, bunt, reef/leech) The order of the gear for a square sail, going fore to aft.
