We arrived early friday morning here at Algeciras
where we took a few stores and signed off 7 crewmembers reducing the staff
onboard to 17 now. I was meant to be relieved but my reliever was not able to
get here as he was on another vessel anchored off Nouakchott!! Apparently we can
remain at anchor for only a few days as this is a very busy area for bunkering,
storing and crew changes. I expect we shall be asked to leave on monday. We
still have no idea what is in store. It may be tempting fate or it may be a good
omen that I purchased the charts for Alang and an Indian flag 'just in case' ???
Time will tell.
Its a bit chillier here than Dakar and the fishing
is lousy!!! even though we are anchored very close to a 'fish fam'. I think its
mussels that they are cultivating here though.
