Preparations in Las Palmas

It's now Friday mid-day having arrived mid-day Wednesday. Thought 2 days should do it followed by chilling on the beach - still doing chores though!
Phil has some serious fishing kit with big ambitions (again!); Steve is sensibly fixing things; Martin has returned to the supermarket for the third time this morning but no-one knows why; Andy decided we wouldn't smoke but has just started the second box (of 20); Rob is practising spotting squalls with the radar - not a cloud in the sky though; Stuart (me) is writing this blog in the Sailor's bar just ordering the second pint.

Provisioning worked reasonably well but about 5 boxes missing - 3 of the team gone in search. Problem is they're not sure what is missing and what we've got (so well packed away in the boat we kind find it) - we need the girls!

Looks like we should be ready by the leaving party this evening leaving Saturday to watch England stuff the Kiwis - fat chance!
Love to all back home.
