Just been told Bruce's (Nave Pegos) is closing down tomorrow. We've been given the option of launching tomorrow or, "we don't know when" so, chose the latter to stay in the yard. If the mooring broke while we're away, no-one will be around to sort it or lift the boat out. Gate will be closed to vehicles but foot traffic into yard and living aboard will be OK.

Any idea of the thinking behind this?

Boa Sorte to those in there ❤

Don't know whether he's jumping the gun or, been told to do it but it seems sensible. Ryan have just warned us by email of possible fleet grounding so have brought our flights home forward to next week.

Bon voyage.

Understand that the authorities are closing municipal caravan parks; leaving the motor homes no where to go. Especially as Spain has closed the border.

Hope they don't get the same idea about marinas, else we will be joining you on the hard and returning north.
