HI folks,
Unfortunately a combination of wind, big swell and
tide did not allow us to go to Essaouira so we stayed another night in El Jadida
and set off mid day for Lanzatore direct. We have had engine for about a third
of the way so far but today was a grand sail with 2 jibs up poled out either
side, heading directly down wind. Not a cloud in the sky (sorry to include that
bit) and hot sun with a force 3 wind on the tail. All in good order on board.
ETA Playa Blanca tomorrow (monday) evening. Busy day Tuesday getting boat ready
to leave for a while. Problem with generator needs sorting.
Arrive Dublin approx 11 PM Tuesday.
Sorry for the HUGE photos. No software to downsize
them. Hope you enjoyed them all the same.
