Last day in Las Palmas. We fly home tonight having
put the boat to bed. An Englishman living aboard his boat here in the
marina will be looking after Thousand Knights II while I am back
home. We had a very good trip from Lagos and overall we have been lucky
with the weather after the hold up in Falmouth. I am very grateful to
my crew who have been great and without whom the trip would not have been
possible. I have learnt a lot from them too, particularly Simon and
Lawrence. Sadly, brother Anthony (the other blogger) has decided offshore
sailing is not for him and will not be doing the ARC. At the end of the
pontoon is a noticeboard where would be crew for the ARC advertise.
Isabella a 22yr old swedish blonde stands out! There are
many willing crew apparently in Las Palmas just before the ARC and I am
reliably informed that 70% of these are well endowed swedish blondes.
Jenny, are you quite sure that you do not want to come! I can see a
debate developing over which is preferable, a swedish blonde with sailing skills
or an ample Fraulein with cooking skills. Decisions,
decisions!
Thank you again to all those who supported me on the trip,
particularly Jenny.
So, we close down now until hopefully we start getting
ready for the ARC in November.
