last minute problems as the winch for the davits decided not to play the game,
we had to call out a very nice German chap and he unsprongled the wires and got

thence to Puerto Mogan, where we should rendezvous with Andrew, Monica and the
boys and girls. Tom doing justice to a B&Coke on the eve of dep from Lanzarote
