30 Knots up the chuff
Hi All, I've just had a call (1527 hours) from Pete at 22 27 N and 24 22 W. They have 30 knots of following breeze which they expect to have with them for the next two to three days. It is good that it will speed them on to Antigua quickly, but bad because it is pretty rough and Tracey is feeling queezy, but she has come up into the saloon and is feeling a bit better. They didn't expect the trade winds to be this strong, but are in good spirits and have seen flying fish. They send love to everyone. I said Happy Birthday to him from you all. He is saving the Prosecco until the weather calms. Cheers, Stu
PS - The pic shows them leaving the marina at Lanzarote...don't they look so happy and relaxed?

The Big Off
All very exciting here for we are heading off to Antigua in the morning. Its been such a good break where we feel that things have just dropped a gear as we start to settle into our new life. We couldn't have chosen a better spot than Marina Rubicon which is one of the best Marina's I have ever stayed in. Huge pontoons, lots of room to manoeuvre, clean and the best staff and facilities to support any boat from engineering to electronics. All this is fronted by Laura who is the most amazing front of house and many other things too. She couldn't have been more friendly, helpful or genuine. I would double her salary if I was the boss - here she is as we say goodbye

The top of Lanzarote - we hired a car for the day and had our first day off 'Pearl' as a couple since we picked her up on the 28th of October - a good day out.
