Well, to save my guests who are arriving this week
a 30-odd nm windward slog from Pasito Blanco to Las Palmas, I decided to 'brave
it' today, on a favourable forecast (NE F3-4, 5 later). The forecast for later
this week is for strong winds so we probably wouldn't have got much sailing done
on the south coast and the anchorages would have been a bit rolly, to say the
least.
In the event, I had a very pleasant eight hour
motor sail up the coast, no wind acceleration zones and virtually no swell.
There aren't too many boats in the anchorage, so I'll stay out here for a night
or so then go into the marina the day the guests arrive. Then I'll be there
until 'the big offski' because, to miss-quote the late great Frank
Sinatra:
Jobs, I have a few
But then again
Too few to mention
Until I have a closer look around the
boat!!!!!!!!!
