Having been lured by the delights of our anchorage (marked with the red arrowhead on the chart) to stay put for a third day, there is no sailing to report.
However the reading has been enjoyable. Gail Honeyman's 'Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine' has been on best sellers lists for months, so most people reading this may have read it. Highly recommended. A serious story with tragedy aplenty it still manages to be hilarious.
Brian McGilloway's 'Bad Blood' was interesting because of its setting in Derry and the familiar issues of paramilitaries, religious rabble rousers, intimidation and immigrants.
Colson Whitehead's 'The Underground Railroad' was a devastating read about slavery in the US.
