The wind has been solidly in the west for the last few days, keeping us firmly in Gib. but it has enabled us to catch-up on the washing,get some jobs done on the boat (How I miss being able to pop into Chris Hornseys!!!), and make new friends.
Thanks to some American friends John & Shirlee, on SY Solstice, we have now joined "yotreps". This is a NZ site that enables you to see exactly where we are - even mid-ocean - so long as I send in our daily position. Have a google,yotreps, then look for Avocette, and/or call sign MLEY4.
Chris & Mandy, who run a great sailing school, "Hercules Sailing", and just happen to be old friends of Roy's, have been great. They've helped us to get the spares with the least effort. Their sailing school is worth serious consideration if you fancy doing a course in the sun!
I popped into the Royal Gibraltar Yacht Club to see if there was any Victory racing to be had but, to my dismay, their season has finished too! It's 26'C, water temp. 22'C, blowing F4, with blue sky and sunshine, and their boats are being lifted for the "winter"!!!!
Guess we had better head south before we get snowed in...
