Currently still anchored off of Isla Graciosa near
Lanzarote. It is rather windy and we have not been able to get to shore at all
apart from when Mary and Molly swam it on the first day, which was before the
wind got up. Have run out of electricity, water, bread and cigarettes, but had a
good birthday celebration aboard Bayzona yesterday afternnoon when the wind
abated sufficiently for us to row the hundred metres over to their
boat. We have picked up some water from Bayzona so have enough to keep us going
in the short term. Still have wine apple juice and plenty of food, baking our
own bread yesterday.
The crew seem to be coping with the depravations
well, we spent yesterday trying to sort out engine electrics and am finally
coming to the conclusion that the engine starting battery is probably U/S. So we
are stuck in a beautiful location but not really able to enjoy it to it's full
extent. Not sure what to do at present will need to get weather forecast to see
what is likely to occur in the next couple of days. Still catching up after the
five day passage from Portugal at present, but need to get a plan together
soon. Hope the wind drops today so that we can get out and about a
bit.
Still staring at the moon for inspiration! That
helps!
