Just a quick update, we're still here anchored off Dakar!!! I've noticed that there's not so many ships calling here at the moment?? The main activity is transhipment of fish from Russian trawlers to small reefer vessels who seem to transport it around the African coast.
We're keeping busy, there's so much to do and there will never be enough time to complete everything. Still on water rationing sealed all the toilets as they use fresh water and now we have to fetch sea water to flush them. At least the boys have plenty of fresh fish, it's the only thing that is abundant though. Now run out of mineral water, soft drinks and chocolate bars! Oh dear, and we can't drown our sorrows as no alcohol is allowed. What an exciting life we lead....
