For the last few weeks I have been haing a great
time taking visiting friends sailing out of Mazarron and also some local sailors
who are very interested in Minka. This is because she is one of the few yachts
here who are not mass produced BenJeanBavs. There is also a lot of interest in
her cruising equipment.
My plans have changed a bit. This week I have my
daughter Laura and her friend Helen on board. We have been out once on Minka but
they have really come just for a holiday. Unfortunately there has been some rain
and it was particularly heavy last night.
 On Monday Minka is being lifted out and then will
be on the hard for a week whilst I antifoul her. During that week my friend John
is arriving and as soon as Minka is back in the water we will set off back to
Brighton. The plan is to do it with a minimum of stops but we will go into to
Gibraltar to stock up on FB pies at Morrisons. It is 1414nm according to my
chartplotter so it will be interesting to see how long it takes.
When we set off I will start doing daily blogs
again.
