An overcast day today after yesterday's sunshine -
we still don't quite yet have a working fridge, but the solution is not far off
we have been assured! We shall wait and see!
We said goodbye to Athenea last night in a small
restaurant in the town, and a nice evening it was too. They are off today for
Lagos, then onto France for Schengen reasons, but they may be back in Lagos at
some stage so we will certainly look out for them.
Numerous calls yesterday about returning the
YellowBrick tracker, so, as was noted yesterday, there will only be daily
updates to our progress once we leave the Azores. At the moment the weather in
the next week is not brilliant for us as after today the winds die away to
almost nothing. So we will keep an eye on the next weather opportunity and then
go for it - whether this involves visiting Santa Maria, we shall see. We are
fueled up and have water and only need a few bits and pieces to be ready
So today we carried on with some work - engine oil
change, saloon table repair and Susan has been exploring the town as I waited
for the fridge repair man to come along, leave and then return.....we that was
the plan anyway.
As some of you can see we are dutifully visiting
the bars and restaurants around the marina to maintain our web and e-mail
presence - some scpetical e-mails about the necessity of this endeavour have
been received, but we can assure you it is most necessary!
And of course happy birthday to Nick - we shan't
mention the number of years for now......!
More in due course......
