Graciosa, October 17th
2005
We are still resting by
this fantastic island, where there are no metalled roads, and the only vehicles
are ancient landrovers. All the houses are whitewashed, and look almost
Arabic. We have only seen one street sign on the entire
island. It is made up of sheets of old lava rock, encrusted with
xenoliths, and layers of volacanic ash tuff. We are all trying to
get ready to go to England in three days, mentally and physically! We have
to sail forty miles to Lanzarotte, and fly from there. It feels very
strange to think that we will be leaving everyone here.....we have made so many
good friends. They will all sail off and move on, like a
migrating herd.
 Here is a picture of the island.
 Another boat of friends pulls up onto the pontoon, and
everyone comes out to say hello. Spot Chris milling around in the
throng!
