Today its my birthday, so its about time I updated this blog.
Still in Lagos, we lifted out on the 20th October, cleaned the underside of
the hull touched up the Anti Fowling, and replaced the main anodes. The prop
Anode cost E70 from the chandlery here, I know it’s a special but even so that
was expensive but everything in Portugal is expensive, at least to me, and some
of the other boats also think the same. We were back in the water the 21st
October.Still looking for crew for the leg to Las Palmas, no luck so far.
A strange incident occurred yesterday, during the night a boat must have
come into the Marine and laid a fishing net right round pontoon O which whare
Sunbeat is moored. It was found the following morning, and after much effort by
several boats the marine staff and the Maritime police it was removed, but it
was half a mile long. Why waste a net like that, since to remove it it was
trashed and only fit for the bin afterwards.
That's it for now.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Skipper Dave!
