The Bandu Sea
The sea and wind conditions are slowly abating. The most noticeable is the sea state and the effect that has on the vessels movement.
The bouncing and occasional slamming has now ceased and we just have a very lazy barely perceptible roll of about half a degree either way.
This movement has a mildly soporific effect and leads to very restful, longer than normal sleeps.
I usually get by with about 6 and half hours sleep a night but 7 and even the very rare 8 hours are not unheard of in these conditions.
Always a joy to sleep so long when aboard, because as the adage goes “More kip = Less trip".
Today’s music is something a bit off the wall, up beat, and zany.
It may have you breaking out into some mad arm waving jiggy dance and lunatic screeching along with the chorus (or it might not
) I think the video is superb
