Well Jackie and I are here again having flown out
to Vilamoura on Tuesday late evening. The boat was fine and thanks to a
thunderstorm over the weekend quite clean. Apparently they had 4 inches of rain
in 24 hours so it must have felt like home. Remember Andrew said it never rains
in Portugal!
We have tidied up the boat and are doing the food
shop today for the trip to the Canaries early next week. Andrew is already here
playing golf and Tim and Helen are due to arrive this evening. The weather and
wind here are fine but there is a storm brewing in Bisacy over the next few days
so it may bring a swell. The wind seems to be dying off over the next few days
as the Azores high gets pushed over Madeira. Well we will see.
Jackie and I celebrated our 26th wedding anniverary
on Thursday with lunch in Albufeira at a restuarant owned by a lady she met on
the flight back in September and then we went to the Monchique Mountains.
Very nice day out.eather today 26 deg and clear blue sky.
Life is hell but could harbour rot be setting
in.
John
