HI folks,
Unfortunately a combination of wind, big swell and tide did not allow us to go to Essaouira so we stayed another night in El Jadida and set off mid day for Lanzatore direct. We have had engine for about a third of the way so far but today was a grand sail with 2 jibs up poled out either side, heading directly down wind. Not a cloud in the sky (sorry to include that bit) and hot sun with a force 3 wind on the tail. All in good order on board. ETA Playa Blanca tomorrow (monday) evening. Busy day Tuesday getting boat ready to  leave for a while. Problem with generator needs sorting.
Arrive Dublin approx 11 PM Tuesday.
 
Sorry for the HUGE photos. No software to downsize them. Hope you enjoyed them all the same.
