Nothing more has been heard from Rob and Andy and
so I assume that they made it to the airport on time or else are camping out
there until the next plane arrives.
The day was a bit deflating now that the
Rally is over - resting, doing laundry, buying bits and pieces from the
chandlery and final cleaning up after the boys left. It
was windless and very hot, with the aircon running much of the
afternoon. In the evening I went to dinner at a nice restaurant in town
with Blonde Moment as it was Sarah's last night before leaving.
Tomorrow, I am going to explore the town with
Jackie and Paul. Initial impressions are a bit disappointing as I had
expected an old historic place with lots of culture but it is in fact quite
built up and, with lots of Brits around, there is a bit of a "Kiss me Quick"
feel about the place. Although it is not quite Benidorm!
Jim, Lyn and Julian - the crew for the next leg,
through the Straits of Gibraltar and into the Med, are arriving on Saturday and
we leave on Sunday. I shall just be lazing around until then and so there
will not be much to report until the sailing resumes.
