We’re keeping an eye on the weather today, the wind in particular. I don’t think it will be a problem, but it’s forecast to reach 7/8Bf tomorrow at around the time we’re due to come back from Rhodes. I don’t mind a rough crossing but what you don’t want is to be told at five that it might sail at nine, then to be told at nine that it might leave at midnight, and on into the night. If there’s a delay, we’ll check into the Castellum for the night and get the Thursday SAOS instead. Which is one way of saying, I shan’t be here to tomorrow as the boat leaves at 5.40 in the morning, but I should be here on Thursday.
We’re also watching the dust cloud forecast with interest. We’ve been under the Sahara Desert for a couple of days, though it looks like it’s now cleared. The grey mist in the following photo shows it yesterday afternoon, and enough remained in the evening to give us a vibrant sunset.
Meanwhile, in the shipyard, the Titanic is coming along well, and we’re getting to the stage where the decks can join the hull. Before that, we want to add some internal lighting, and I have some on order, but they may be delayed, which means the project might go over time incurring a day-by-day penalty imposed by the White Star Line…
After the piano lesson and model building session, we popped out for a glass, got hungry, and ordered some chips from the taverna, which duly arrived at no charge, because that kind of thing happens a lot around here, and that was our evening.
This morning, I am continuing with my final edit of the next book. That’s once I have prepared tomorrow’s blog post for my other blog, where I will be showing the full cover of the new book – so check www.jacksonmarsh.com tomorrow morning if you want to see what that looks like.
