| The Lord Nelson |
After spending the night on a 57 year old Dutch barge docked on the Thames, courtesy of my host Joe Gridley, I made my way to the Docklands near Canary Warf and joined the Lord Nelson.
The Nellie will be shoving off tomorrow at 3:00 PM to catch the ebb tide.
The day was spent hovering the foc'sle and swabbing the lower deck. This earned me a tot of beer and the favor of a slightly wider berth in the foc'sle. This means that I had to vacuum and mop the area under the bow of the ship.
Nellie is a beauty. The few people on board (since I was already in London I was invited to join a day early) have been very friendly and Simon (Cookie) is right on top of my vegan diet.
Tomorrow will be my first day at sea!
Our first port of call will be the Faeroe Islands where I will be able to post again.
