High time for some sunshine

[Yardarm]

I'm off to the Canaries next Tuesday for a weeks tall ship sailing. The weather's not been very good there recently, but it's got to change, I need some sun and good sailing in blue water.

In case anyone's interested, there's a spare place on the voyage

Hi Yardarm
The weater is getting better now, we have been having pretty bad weather as you now, to-day hasent been too bad, Will you be sailing in Sir W.Churchill , Arethusa or Stavros? I often see them around here and have beautifull photos with all sails up

Hi Zeus
I'll be on the Stavros, she'll be berthed in Santa Cruz and then we're going to be sailing round the islands, depending on the wind and the whims of the captain! I'm glad the weather is getting better, I've never been to the Canary Islands before and I'm really looking forward to it.

If it's anything like as lovely as your pictures on your website I'll be very happy!

Who needs to go to the Canaries? It's brilliant sunshine and really quite warm out of the wind here in Cargreen. Snow? What snow?

Don't crow too loudly, James, you know what will happen, you'll get dumped on and end up 3ft under the white stuff.
