Ordered from Fishtek Marine in Devon, they were £75 each as of February this year. Unit price decreases for quantities >10, so group purchases improve on that price.

€200 each in the chandlers here in Lagos. They’re in stock but selling fast I’m told.

Wow! At that price I might bring some back from U.K. with me when I come back out to the boat!

We haven’t bought at that price! We’re relying on some other techniques.. .

Just normal Sopromar mark up!
They wanted €86 for a tin of Perfection. SVB price €42.
I don't mind supporting a bricks and mortar business bit that's just taking the mick.

Always. Combined with a bit of practical common sense. It might involve engaging astern propulsion and cleaning the toilets with bleach. I couldn’t possibly comment.

We head over the border to Ayamar at Ayamonte, Usually cheaper than Sopromar and Lorie will try to price match other suppliers so bought new dinghy from her recently.

I have heard it said that the Lord helps those who help themselves...
I see you have made it to the Guadiana and gone into Vila Real. Did someone warn you I was in Ayamonte? ??

Sorry, I had no idea! We had a crew chat and people read the pilot book, saw nice comments about Vila Real de Sant Antonio, and voted to come in here. Also one of my ex parishioners and good friend has a holiday place here so that was another reason to come and have a nose around and see where she was always flying out to with her family. Is Ayamonte worth coming over to see? We were planning on motoring round to Mazagon later today but we could l perhaps change our plans. Long time since we met in that bar in Scotland.

Only messing with you, John. Ayamonte is very nice, but it is Sunday so mostly shut, and neither it nor I are worth changing your crews' plans for. If you are spending the day in VRSA you could always take the ferry across for a quick look round, it is super cheap and goes from just N of the marina.
We are getting ready for a trip up the river tomorrow, but give me a shout if you do come over.
Fair winds,

Geez, Webby! According to MarineTraffic, the good Reverend has made a hasty departure out to sea. Begs the question: Would he rather face the orcas or chance a meet up with you?

What’s utterly depressing is that there’s no wind today and no wind forecast for the Andalusia coast for the next few days.
