Mayday, Mayday, Mayday (aka I've done it again)

No, this is not actually a Mayday, don't worry, we were just doing our VHF course, learning how to make Mayday calls (distress) and other such things.  Pan-pan (urgent) Securite (safety) etc etc etc and, I've done it again, cos I've passed that so I'm now going to get a pretty certificate saying I'm certified to work radios (it's actually quite a serious thing although, I agree, it sounds silly.  I think it may well act as a form of photo id as it will have my photo, date of birth and loads of other details on too.... hmmmm....
Anyway.  It was a nice day, bright and sunny.  Passing my dinghy instructor and gran haven't really sunk in yet it feels like, just like it's all happening really far away.  I don't know.  It will definitely be weird going back home, I'm going to do my best to get back for the funeral.  I don't really know what else I can do.  I knew when I came away that this could happen, we all knew, but we had to go ahead with it anyway.
looking forward to kayaking tomorrow, hopefully the weather will be just as good though apparently it's supposed to be moving into a low pressure system sometime so our weather will get worse :( (low = warm, wet and windy)
Otherwise, doing well.
:D :D :D
