The last couple of days have been spent getting things ready for the next leg to Lanzarote as well as The ARC. We filled up with fuel, filled up with water, so it was time to fill up with food. Our first trip to Morrisons was an exciting affair, there weren't enough sandwiches in the cafeteria to last  the whole ARC so we had to do some real shopping. Three trollies and three hours later we crammed everything into a taxi (there was barely room for us) and we got it all onboard. So far that was the easy bit, we now had to find places to stow it. Floor boards lifted, lockers rearranged, and cupboards crammed full, we have found a place for everything - including emergency meals (see photo). However, we needed two more trips to Morrisons, one to Eroski (which invloved a walk across the runway- which they closed while we were half way across), but we think we have got everything. 
Point to note: its the first Morrisons we've seen with a bar in it. 

Early yesterday morning whilst some were still sleeping, there were sounds of activity from the galley. When the crew came for their morning tea they realised that the sounds of activity was as a result of Phil making bread and looked forward to fresh bread and rolls later in the day. Delicious!

We are currently waiting for delivery of the new sails and hoping to leave later today but that might be a bit optimistic. In the meantime, we have plenty to keep us occupied.
