WE are back and getting ready for the off. Firstly east to Nerja for
the 2005 Blue Water Reunion, then back west to Algarve to collect Keith, and
then we are off to the Canaries for the first stage in our fantastic trip.
We are anchored again in Portimao, and have been shopping and playing golf
as well as jobs on the boat. Well, Stephen has been playing golf with his good
friend Nick. It was a lovely afternoon to walk around the golf course, and for
me to pretend to caddy some of the time!!
Our Rally partners, on Oyster Moon and Marita 3 have been here this
week, so we have been able to catch up and re-estabish the links which we
will keep up for the next 18 months. They set off yesterday towards Madeira and
we spoke with them this evening and all is progressing well. We will all meet up
in a few weeks time when we all set off together.
The day after I arrived, there was a beach party organised and it was just
lovely. New friends, relaxed atmostphere and of course food and wine. There was
also a brilliant sunset too.
Do get in touch and find out how we are doing, it will be lovely to hear
from you.
Best wishes, Annie & Stephen.
