While many of our cruising friends have made they way to their winter hind out , we still enjoying some very nice days sailing even tho like many other this year we had to do some fast long sails to get away from the storms that have crossed the Med and wreckand sunk so many boats in their wake destroying so many people dreams and in same cases home .
This as been a difficult year for most of us Cruisers with the Covid virus making choices where to go not knowing what we find once we arrive and at time not even knowing if we going to be allowed in.
But waking up at anchor this morning on a warn sunny morning with Etna puffing out smoking in the back ground some how makes all the worry and Stress of this year all worth whiles .

Who in their right mind want to give up a nice home to go cruising:)

Glad you are enjoying it. We all have to take our pleasure where we can these days.
There have been some great sailing days here in the uk over the past weeks.

Yup, take it when you can! Taking some oppos out on a friends Catalina 42 for a few hours tomorrow morning.

Part of this will be to plan an upcoming tootle around the Canaries. If the idea works, we will be off on Saturday week, two boats in company. The other is a Hanse forty something. Be nice to have a cruise in company. First stop, Tazacorte, La Palma. Looks like we can do this without restrictions......but not betting the farm on it.........

Yea but I bet you didn't have a swim before breakfast in clear blue water :)
Any way good to see people still getting out and enjoying autumn sailing

Pleased that you are now sailing and doing things you enjoy.

It was tough for you both being so confined in the lockdown period .

Best stay away for a while yet. The parking lot near the marina currently features a "Extreme Motor Show" starting every night at 21:00 until the 12th o_O
