Weather west north west 6 to gale 8 - like living in a washing machine! Spoke to our Basque friend, by the sound of it he had another day off, who can blame him. From what Gervasio is saying I think the fishing is quiet with the Spanish fleet, it certainly is with us anyway. At this rate the man from Del Monte will have nothing but tinned fruit to sell next week. Jacket spuds for tea, highlight of the day! Ere you tomorrow Captaino.
