Mrs SV\'s bad hair day
Poor MrsSV.
I headed down to SV early on Saturday to get ready for a couple of days cruising. Mrs SV was to join me at lunchtime which was perfect timing for crossing the bar.
By 12:30 I had all the checks done, covers, fenders, springs and shore power stored, dinghy inflated, autopilot on, VHF on. Only needed to fire up the engines, release the bow and stern lines and we were away.
Sun was shining, wind had dropped, yes life was looking good then came the phone call.
It was MrsSV with good news....
Wait for it guys, it's good news....
" you won't believe it she says, but Shauna the hairdresser called and she has a cancellation "
She was absolutely thrilled. Jeez, you'd thing she had won the lottery. Anyway, I sad the usual wrong things , you know...
"we dont get weather like this every day, tides being right, forecast showing wind to keep dropping etc etc".
Anyway, being a man, I lost the "debate" and waited for a couple of hours, missed the clearance over the bar, re-secured the boat, covers, fenders, bla bla (you know the drill).
MrsSv arrived at 16:00 looking fabulous grrrrrrrrr.
" sorry hun but we still have tomorrow". she says.
Anyway, I chilled out and we settled into a nice evening at the marina.
Sunday dawned with slack winds and sea mist but with the promise that it would clear in the afternoon, we headed out and had a great day.
But wait, look what happened to the important hair do /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
