Marina Rubicon, Lanzarote. Congratulations to Ian who on Friday passed the first part of his Yachtmaster Offshore course. The aim now is to complete the second part in the Caribie and perhaps prepare for the Yachtmaster Ocean on the way back from Bermuda.
Later this afternoon, we will move Sea Spray to the boatyard pontoon with the work on her starting tomorrow. Hopefully, we will be successful with the water maker repair, which is more than can be said for my repair on the dinghy. I attempted a second patch on the tear this morning during which I managed to over-tighten a G-clamp and break it. Only two weetabix tomorrow I think!
The intention mid-week is to sail down to Gran Canaria for a night and provision the boat again, and then move on to the Cape Verde islands.
