Lunch at the beach with Tony and Alison |
I arrived back in Cartagena on 10th Feb alone (Cliff was still in the Caribbean) and was
greeted by howling gales - the boat was rocking so violently I felt quite
queasy! My mood was not helped by the fact that the seacock to the (only
working) toilet had seized up so I couldn't use the loo that night. The next
day I got Charlie, one of our lovely fellow cruisers, to come and open the
seacock, but then had a bit of a panic when seawater started to pour into the boat. Charlie managed to sort it out by tightening the screws, but servicing the
seacocks is definitely on the to do list when the boat gets hauled out.
Cliff flew in on 14th
Feb, it was so good to see him again after almost two months apart. He enjoyed
the Atlantic crossing and loved the Caribbean, so he’s now hoping that we will
make it there on Sandpiper once we’ve finished sailing in the Med. We shall see!
The weather warmed up
towards the end of the month and on the 26th Don on Northern Shadow offered to drive us
and Tony and Alison from Reveller out to the beach for lunch. It was so nice to
eat outdoors again – note the lone sunbather on beach in the picture!
