Windy!!

The wind over the last 3 days has been pretty strong so we are still in the Marina as we did not fancy going out in 30 knots of wind!

Have discovered the Marina bar does a Happy Hour each day from 5 to 6pm and we have met quite a few other crews at this. Serendipity the Oyster doing the World ARC is here and David has four others on board at present but the two girls fly home soon leaving the men to sail to the Cape Verdes next week.

Went shopping yesterday with Adrian and Sam who have hired a car to do their provisioning as they leave for the Cape Verdes today. There is a larg English expat community here and we went to an Iceland which had all English products on the shelf and even English staff which was weird. The prices were about 40 % more expensive than UK prices but I did manage to buy bread flour!!

We also went to another Spanish supermarket where you could buy litre cartons of wine for 55 Euros which is about 50p!

The Bimini top is getting repaired as it had rubbed a hole where the boom touches so patches ar being sewed onto the weak areas and we expect it to be returned to the boat today. all being well we will go out to anchor later today ( if the wind drops!) or tomorrow morning.

In the meantime just topping up the tans!!
