Thursday 24th of July 2025. Culatra in the Rio Formosa.
I'll be here or hereabouts for the next 3 months.
Saturday 20th of September 2025. Machico - on the harbour wall.
Much better than the anchorage just outside which is subject a swell and worse to come tomorrow. €6 a night and I get to have a shower. They're at it again. I polished off this lot when it arrived with first pint and now another couple of saucers have arrived before I've started on number three. I won't be able to manage all of my Ayam Bakar Taliwang tonight, I'm sure it will keep until tomorrow. Monday 22nd of September 2025. Mightily relieved to have received confirmation of a booking for a marina in Tenerife for the 6th of October. From about now until January is the time of year that boats gather in the Canary Isles ready to cross the Atlantic after the hurricane season is over and all the marinas are supposedly fully booked. I hope I'm as lucky with my bookings for my flights from Gran Canaria in November and December.
Why there for three months? Are you getting work done on the boat?
ReplyDeleteI've booked a flight from Faro for mid October but am getting pretty bored here and am having second thoughts about that.
DeleteToo cryptic for me too Bren!
DeleteBored? Let’s play I spy.
I spy with my little eye, something beginning with S.(clue…it’s blue and wet)
Too easy? Let’s play online scrabble. Seriously. Would you be interested? Xx
Sorry Marg, I nearly missed this. Yes, do I have to download something?
DeleteGetting hot down there according to the news. Hope you're able to find some breeze to cool down.
ReplyDeleteIt is hot but much cooler here than inland and maybe not that much hotter than London at the moment. It's only horrible when the wind drops.
Delete'Not for the first time the Vesuvians have gatecrashed my party'.
ReplyDeleteMmmn. A little too cryptic for me....care to share?
Can't you see the faces? It's a bit of a 'Power of the dog' thing, easier to see after a few glasses of wine.
DeleteOh yes! I can see the faces, and I’ve only had a cup of tea. Xx
DeleteMore like the Easter Island faces!
ReplyDeleteYes, you've got it.
DeleteSorry, I´m a bit slow but explain more clearly please.
ReplyDeleteDo you mean the sleeves of your jacket resemble faces?
ReplyDeleteYes but I'm looking at the hat this morning and I don't see it. I think it's the wine that makes me see things more clearly.
DeleteObviously.....😉
