Ian and Myf, and the Mate Sarah, joined as planned on Thurs. Sarah's flight was delayed 2 hrs by a French ATC strike, but faithful Spanish taxi driver patiently stood in Arrivals with name placard awaiting her.

Gentle sail to secluded bay: where upon windlass gave up paying out cable.  Skipper had been conscious it had been making strained noises for several days, but check over had revealed nothing.   Ian and skipper turned to in diagnostic mode.  After 45 mins had identified problem, and 2 hrs later we had a fully serviceable windlass.  BZ Ian!
