Exhaustion, Day 5.
The sea is intense.
We've had near gale/gale for around 12 hours straight (on the nose, of course), and we're all out of sleep and appetite. I'm not sure if I've been on seas this intense before, but certainly not without an escape plan. The boat rises and falls, meters up and meters down, slamming, shaking, losing all speed...I'm glad we have a robust boat. We're finishing through our second low pressure, and forecasts promise a better tomorrow.
Everything is fine, though, no worries, mum!
It's strange to feel so used up, not having any way of taking a break or a nap or even go to the restroom without falling. I can no longer imagine the feeling of sitting by a table, drinking tea in silence. Nothing moving, no boats to worry about, escapes everywhere. What does it feel like to not work on your balance?
Anyway, we're thrilled to hear that our local soccer team won the last match!
Enjoying what we can, haha.
Ellie out.
