So much for sunshine

Tuesday 27 June

It continued to rain, all day, often from such thick mist or low cloud that all land was obscured – what a contrast from yesterday. Skipper spent the day on the computer dealing with admin following the sale of their house (at last), while Mate busied herself in the galley: regular and gluten free sourdough loaves – the latter is known as ‘hit-and-miss bread’ because the sea was bouncing me around so much the electronic scales refused to read accurately and she had to best guess quantities; parkin, stewed gooseberries and baking apples with elderflower cordial, and lunch of puff pastry pizza topped with spinach, feta and green pesto at one end, and red pesto, toasted pine nuts and roast cherry tomatoes at the other end. Supper was long (Romano) peppers stuffed with savoury Quorn mince, with stir fried leek and savoy cabbage.
