Frustrating being so far from the boat

We are feeling very frustrated at being so far from the boat. Granted, the cost of flying down with Easyjet is probably not much more than running the car down to Plymouth but we simply have not done any sailing to speak of this year.

It will be great to start cruising again and then we will appreciate having the boat in the sun already.

That said, the UK weather this year must be seriously frustrating for cruisers anyway.

More counting down the days though.

Next Trip Down

Flights are booked Thursday 12/07 to Tuesday 16/07. My Brother and I are hoping to get to Morocco. Original idea was to go down the straits to Tangier but that seems to be a bit difficult for yotties and it is easier to go to a marina called Marina Smir to the south of Cueta on the Med coast. People in the know then recommend going to Tetuan which apparently has a much more interesting Souk than Tanger. Should be fun anyway.

We are also finally getting the wind generator shipped down so I hope to be busy installing that as well.

Next Trip Down

Well, I have booked my flight and committed to geting their 12/07 to 17/07. No Audrey this time but my Brother will be joining with the intention of sailing across the straits to Africa.

Our original plan was to go to Tangier down the Straits but research seems to indicate that visiting in a yacht is very fraught. You also need to clear in a designated port of entry so I suspect we will go to Smir a few miles south of the Spanish enclave of Cueta. That is apparently quite close to a town called Tetuan which has a magnificent Souk.

We shall see anyway.

Trying Blogger app

First time I have tried this app on the phone.

News is that the next trip down has been booked.12 July for five days or so.

I'll do a proper update later.
