      2 days in, and we are fucked….He's pumping in 10 hour days and making us really work.....

      But we are learning an amazing amount.

      He got us to plan a longish passage today, then took the charts off us, turned the plotter off, and made us do it from our course notes....

      Lots of slow-speed manoeuvring inc ferry-gliding...

      The looking-through-the-windscreen device was deployed again.....

                                I should probably start apologizing ahead of time.

                                    The owner not exactly squeaky clean…..
