Well we thought leaving on Saturday was a good
idea, since the forecast for \sunday and Monday didnt look great -wrong -
probably best to leave on Friday this week!
Straight into a lot of driving rain, then nice,
Roger caught 4 fish for supper. \then in the evening after lots more rain
we caught a big squall inc lots of thinder and lightning, hit by at least a 35
kn gust knocking us well over. From the yellow brick tracker you will see
we were running in front of the wind, and big seas until last
night.
Now no wind, but big swell, probably at least
10 foot when it reaches the beaches. |Not far from Agadir now for any
surfers tracking us, I well remember lots from Newquay used to spend their
winters there.
No Dolphins, but lots of ships, had to call quite a
few last night to ask them to confirmthey had seen us, all
responded.
Looks like we should be in to Lanzarote by Weds,
hoping to sail again lter, been motoring for 13 hours as I write this, must work
out how to update facebook as well,
thanks
John Stella Brian and Roger
