Karen, Sue and Mandy too

 

Karen and Sue arrived and we all went shopping. Keeping the boat supplied with food and drink is a big job but with four people is was very easy. Especially as we have our super trolleys. I love my trolley. In this photo I have 4 trays of lager, 2 bottles of wine and 2 bottles of vermouth. 

Then back to the boat to let the fun begin.

Nice meal out, some beautiful sunsets, lovely home cooked food, a bit of sunbathing, a few drinks and no one fell in (Nearly).  And of course the obligatory game of hearts.

Dinghy dock in Palmanova, dinghy soup.

The girls brought out my new tethered diving kit so I can clean my hull. Mandy did a great job of filming the test and propeller/prop shaft inspection.

She also got a great clip of the "upturned" hull. It looks like the boat bas capsized in the mist and water is running over the hull but it's air.

And again our lovely guests have to leave with a few more tears from Mandy.

The anchorage where we spent our last night with the ladies, and spent the next 3 working days, was near the marina at El Arenal. The sea was so clear you could see the anchor and loads of fish. No fishing though, it's a fish sanctuary.

I took the dinghy for a spin to do a speed test and got 25 mph. I 💗 Yamaha outboards.

Then it was time for Mandy to work and me to service the generator in my sexy headlight. I have been known to sleep in my headlight.

Generator serviced, water tanks full, Mandy's finished work. Time to head north.
