So, now I’m in a hotel as I’ve been dispossessed for a couple of days to “stand by” while some service hands are on board during the port call. Hotel room actually has bathroom scales, which isn’t usual.

115kg is the story. This is 2kg down from the last time I weighed myself so it’s a start.

Good intentions scuppered by the usual things that happen during a run ashore, but I’m not going to the pub tonight and tomorrow I’ll try and fast… and walk some more…
