HI,
we arrived back in Lagos, getting up at 0230 for the taxi to Geneva Airport, on Thursday 19th August. After getting back into boat life, we sailed to Vilamoura on Saturday and awaited Michelle's arrival on Sunday.
With an extra pair of hands, the next few days went very well. We sailed on Monday to Ayamonte, and then the next day to Mazagon.
On Wednesday, we set off for Rota which was to be 'home' for 2 nights. On the way we saw a swordfish and a dolphin. We went to Jerez to see the world famous Spanish Riding School display (excellent) and the Tio Pepe Bodegas. Of course we had to sample the sherry and have some more tapas!
Friday we sailed to Barbate and this time saw of pod of dolphins. By now the temperatures were so hot, we delayed our arrival in the marina for a swim, snooze ....
And yesterday, we sailed into Gibraltar - accompanied by several pods of dolphins - to meet up with Roy, Douglas and Edward who with Iain are taking the boat to Ibiza while Helen meets Jackie in Malta for a few days R and R before joining the boat in Ibiza and Michelle returns to London.
we had a lovely dinner out last night, Iain celebrating his birthday a month early. He now has an ipad so that technology will keep him busy for a while. And then there are all those downloaded books to read.
Today, Michelle and I had breakfast in the Rock Hotel, watching Alma motoring out of the harbour without us.
Photos to be posted next week
love Helen.
