Not sure when we last reported, getting a bit stir-crazy here.  We are still awaiting the document from the UK, which is going to arrive here sometime, addressed to us and important to complete our boat registration Part 1, which enables us to whistle up the British navy in the event of broken finger nails etc.  Anyway, we’ve now made contact with Be-bop-, last met in Sada, when we were awaiting engine thingies and they were being pulled out of the water in La Coruna.   They are here for a week before going back to the UK via Gran Canaria.  We’re sure to get there eventually. 

 

 Andrew and Monica pitch up there next weekend, but at the time of writing, we have not yet secured a berth at a nearby marina – don’t tell them, sure it will be resolved by next weekend at the latest, that is if the blessed paperwork form the UK has arrived anyway!

 

Raymarine fixes will happen in GC, ears will be put to the test in GC, but tomorrow in Lanzarote, we hope to meet up with Sue and Steve – in Puerto del Carmen on hols and due to drop in for Sue’s birthday treat, hope that comes off!  We will also have wifi tomorrow evening – sadly lacking at the weekend due to a marina upgrade, so hope all of those who have Skype will ring and ring and ring – after all, its free!

 

Meanwhile, here’s pix form a typical Sunday in Lanza
