19th Oct

Sunday 19th October 2008, day 92. 28° 31’.98 N, 016° 07’.95 W.
Tenerife, Ensenada de Zapata.

It is raining. So we are sitting below, and, just as if we were on our mooring in the Deben, Anthony is reading Yachting Monthly, Mike Pert is lapping up Nigel Calder’s tome on boat electrics and I am catching up with the blog, before having supper, followed by a game of scrabble. Just like being at home. Even down to the marmalade bread and butter pudding in the oven.

Except that tomorrow morning we will all get into the sea before breakfast, and swim to a deserted black sand beach, with volcanic cliffs striated above us, and agaves and prickly pears on the hillsides. Oh, we are so lucky!
