We are now in Lanzarote. We arrived here from the Selvagem Islands yesterday after leaving the morning before. It was a great sail across with the wind staying constant and leaving us very little to worry about. We work shifts to cover the whole 24 hour period so by the time we got here we all had had our sleep disrupted a bit. Only one casualty en route – I lost my camera overboard a mile from the marina. Bit annoying but I had downloaded most of the pictures so did not lose much. And there seem to be loads of shops here selling electronics and cameras etc so I will get a replacement in the next day or so.
Ross and Sally, friends of mine, were in a resort a few miles away so last night I caught the local bus and went and hooked up with them. It was their last night and so I grabbed a bite with them and crashed in their apartment before coming back this morning to the boat. Somewhere during the night I suffered the second casualty, losing one of my credit cards and my bank debit card. I think it may have been around midnight when I persuaded Ross to come swimming in the sea…… You would think I would have learned about the evils of drink and the trouble it can cause by now…….Anyway they are both cancelled now and I just have to work out how to get the new ones out here when they arrive at my house. In the meantime I have a couple of other cards so all is well.
