Friday 5th of September 2025. Lagos.

Polish ship Frederyk Chopin anchored off Lagos.
This wins my competition for the biggest storks nest. It must be 5 ft across.

He's back.  I'm not sure if he's  the elephant man or a WW1 victim but he's the best of company.

      Good thanks Jules. I had meant to stay in Culatra until my trip to the UK in October but it became too boring, sat on the anchor with nothing to look at but sand, nowhere to walk, nothing happening, I've decided to bring my trip down to the Canaries forward. Heading off tomorrow.

    That´s exciting news, Brendan. Will you be stopping off at Madeira on your way down?

    Hope you don't see too much of the elephant man on the way😜I'm buying you a soft wool cap for Xmas.

    Looking forward to hearing your news from the Madeira.

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.
