Many cultures view the turtle as a symbol of good luck. They represent the wisdom of the ancient ones and are highly respected for their strength and individuality. They are said to offer protection and good fortune, bring happiness and good omens.
Meet Cosmic, the ship's turtle:

Cosmic comes all the way from Egypt and was a gift from our good friends Del and Jim. As can be seen, Cosmic is a quality item (quality has always been important when exchanging gifts; our parting gift to Del and Jim was a copy of "Spaced Out - The Very Best of William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy" (Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock from Star Trek)) but, well, I think it's fair to say that Cosmic needs to work a bit harder when it comes to being the bearer of good fortune.
Whilst we had great weather to begin with, it looks like we'll be in Eastbourne rather longer than intended as unseasonably strong winds and even gales are forecast to rattle through over the next few days.
On the plus side, we're under contract with Premier Marinas until 31st March, so our prolonged stay won't cost us anything.
Maybe Cosmic really is looking after us!
