I'm back.

The first thing I did, when I got home, was throw my stuff into the washing machine. The second thing I did was get into a shower and stay there for forty minutes, scrubbing the whole time. I hadn't had a shower since Donegal, since I was on watch at Bangor when the others got to shower.

God, that was close quarters and an icky smell of feet. But an interesting week. Incredible, really.

Third thing I did was take the disposable camera down to get the pictures developed. Then I crawled into bed and slept for two whole marvellous hours on a wide bed that didn't smell of feet or damp.

Notes on the trip and pictures will follow, when I can manage them. I now know lots about the tallship STV Asgard II, even if I was too chicken to stow and set the square sails.

Also, I am fat. The ship's cook on the Asgard is apparently quite reknowned. Three meals a day, full Irish breakfast, desert after dinner, generous portions, really great ship-made bread... Yeah. Back on the minimal eating habit regime now.
