Waiting in Lagos

ALICE'S ADVENTURES

ANDREW AND CELIA SHARPE

Fri 29 Oct 2010 11:59

Arrived back in Lagos on Tuesday evening with Sue, David and Paul who are helping us to take Alice to the Canaries. The weather forecast is predicting strong southerly winds and swell for a few days so we are waiting until at least Monday for those to subside and the winds to go round to the North again.

We are spending the time stocking the boat with plenty of food and wine! Paul is very busy cleaning and polishing which is wonderful. We may start to hire him out soon!!! Alice is gleaming.

Captain Alice!!!
