Alcoutim/Sanlucar, River Guadiana Yesterday on our way down from the Fort in Sanlucar Isabelle picked lots of local flowers to press. This morning, Harry wanted to pick some more so we popped back up the hill and got a good selection, as well as some beautifully scented 'camphor' sprigs to dry in the sun and wind. The air really is rich with the smell of spring. Two donkeys are constantoy ee-awing to each other along the river, frequently triggered by the hourly Church chimes, highly amusing to hear, even at 3am! Bol went up the rig to try and sort out the deck light electrics. Immediately the crew wanted to go up too so they went up one at a time afterwards. They reckoned it was the closest they would ever get to flying. We'll repeat this request for a few more days; Do you, or anyone you know, have 2-3 weeks available to do some spring sailing? We are looking for a seasick-proof safe pair of hands preferably with offshore experience to help us sail back from the Algarve to St Malo at the beginning of May (without the children). If you are interested and would like more information, please could you email the boat at sadlertc {CHANGE TO AT} gmail {DOT} com. Expenses paid. Thank you. |
