Mazagon

37:07.864N 6:49.911W This morning we got up and went for a walk round the
chandleries at the marina. Anne then went off to the supermarket, an
interesting experience. The supermarket did not have any items we wanted on the
shelves, and rather than returning to the boat completely empty handed she
decided to buy some vegetables. In this supermarket it was not pick your
own, you had to ask the assistants for what you wanted. There was also a long
queue of people. As we speak no Spanish and the assistant spoke no English this
was not easy. The vegetables were all stacked up close together and so pointing
was not that easy either. Any way she managed to buy a bulb of garlic, an onion
and rather more tomatoes than she really wanted. Hopefully we will be moving on
from Mazagon soon so we won’t have to go through that again, here at
least. Anne then popped into the tourist office – we really
had seen it all yesterday (ie the one square). While Anne was away, Stephen checked the engine, and mopped
up the water from our mystery leak in the shower. (It only leaks when we go
sailing and we can’t work out where it comes from). We are now ready to escape Magazon as soon as a weather
window opens. This afternoon we read while the wind howled around us. We
decided to pop into the marina office to return the security card so we could
get away early in the morning. Whilst out, Stephen discovered the nearby bar
had wifi, so we headed there for a beer and some internet connection. When we got back Yoyo had a treat, 6 sparrows decided to
land on our boat. Unfortunately for Yoyo she couldn’t get out (the wind
was still howling so we had closed the boat up.) This did not deter Yoyo, she
launched herself at the window trying to get the sparrows. Neither the sparrows
nor Yoyo were harmed during this incident. We will be having a quiet night in tonight. |
