First day back at school.
Scapa did it’s finest today. We left in drizzle, sailed through a hail storm and finished the day with beautiful sunshine. And I bet that has set the theme for the summer.
Small group to start with, which is fine as it lets me find all those things that are going to break after not being used all winter and fix them before the onslaught arrives. One of the lads has the new inspiration which is the first time I have seen one on the boat. At a distance the changes seem fairly minor but with a bit of prodding and delving their true extent becomes a bit more apparent. Will be picking his brains for the rest of the week.
The best of the day was just being out again. Feeling a bit rusty (forgot a few things like the mask bucket: the boys jumped in looking thru a foggy haze but were too polite to complain!) but good to blow away the cobwebs of the winter.
Dived the Karlsruhe and then the Tabarka. Vis very poor but the boys were happy enough. Poor weather on it’s way tomorrow so going to have an early start and try and get things done before it arrives. Can’t remember losing any dives last year through weather so not going to treat this season any different. Famous last words.
New Kung foo shoes well comfy.
No complaints about today.
