It's Sunday and after what seems like a day at the airport I'm back from my away day to London. Friday was a day I wish to forget completely. Expensive, frustrating and unfortunately the business of the day not finished. Received a text saying batteries were not in stock BUT he will try and locate some !!!! Let's hope we stay on time or Ibiza will be a no no.
The diver was down for five hours clearing the barnacles off the boat and he looked almost dead when he got out, the bow thruster may work but he said the whole structure was covered in large barnacles. Will need to be sorted when I get back to Blighty. At least once batteries arrive the engine and prop should work.

Can't do a lot Monday, there is a bank holiday where everything closes unlike UK - no supermarkets - nothing. So pick Alex up and introduce him to some swordfish steaks and a nice 7% beer I have found. Makes sailors hair stand on end!!!!

Well it's getting on and bed is calling. The adventure starts really soon now !!!! Adios
