The Cleary’s and Hannah came sailing on ‘Blue Magic’ and Mark showed Paul ‘the ropes’ ready for his preparations as crew for the first leg of our rally from Gibraltar to Lanzarote in October. Jan was on dolphin watch and spotted one as we came back into the marina.

We have had great fun sharing our holidays and we will be a bit lost when Paul & Jan & Emma & Hannah go home tomorrow.

Reinaldos, below, has been our regular meeting place and we will miss our morning and evening rendez vous before heading off for Tapas or dinner.

….So we are taking to the seas again early tomorrow for a 70 mile trip to Almerimar on route to Alicante where we are meeting Stuart & Joselyn and Rob & Julie, who fly out next Friday to join us for a week on the boat to cruise to Ibiza.

Sheena and Emily are then flying out to Ibiza to join us, the same day that the others fly home.

How great to catch up with everyone – but I think I need ‘staff’ to ensure the smooth running of our floating hotel !
