Too cryptic for me too Bren! Bored? 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
Radazul marina. I've booked in for the month of October. It's not a very pretty marina but I won't be here for most of the time. It's somewhere to park Nomad and it's cheap and supposedly only 20 mins on the bus to the city centre. Founding father of Santa Cruz. The Murphys get everywhere.
Friday 31st October. Still here in Radazul in the hope that my repaired autopilot sent from Portugal over three weeks ago will turn up, long story. Today a young girl in the 40 foot yacht next to me disembarked alone and steered the boat out of the marina. Yesterday she went up the mast to replace a bulb at the masthead. I had been expecting a boyfriend or her dad to pop their head out of a hatch at some stage since she arrived but it seems I was mistaken. She really was alone.
Tuesday 9th December. Oh dear! The marina is full, I have to stay outside on the anchor until a space comes free which the man said could be a month or two. I think he's scaremongering but I suppose he has to give me the worst case. He showed me the list of twelve boats in the queue ahead of me. Very strong winds are expected at the weekend, if Nomad survives that without the anchor dragging then I would feel confident leaving the boat anchored over Christmas. I'll have to read up on anchoring.
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.

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.

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.....😉
