Still Rough!

How long can it stay this rough??? Three days now and we still cannot get onto the upper deck to do our maintenance!! I'm not really complaining though, because I have plenty to do below decks. Unfortunately, my compartment is right at the pointy end of the ship, and as i stated in my first entry, I get a little queasy down here!! We still have about 200 miles to run to our first stop, Gibraltar. Every Sailors favourite place!! Well OK, not all. We have about two days there and then we head of east again. But for now we are preparing for what is called the STROG transit! "What the hell is that" I hear you cry. Well, the STROG is the STRaits Of Gibraltar, the bit at the bottom of Spain and the top of Morocco and it's about maybe, ten to fifteen or so miles wide, and makes and ideal place to ambush or attack a ship!! We go through fully ready for almost anything! On a different note we managed to watch the Carling Cup semi-final last night between Spurs and Burnley. What a match, it's just a shame that Burnley got knocked out. We were hoping that the minnows would hold out and do over the yid army, but unfortunately it was not to be. On the bright side though, it's Friday tomorrow, maybe time for a beer or three!!
