I hope our friends Bill & Jayne Roddie won’t be embarrassed us mentioning their generosity.

They have a beautiful villa about 13 km from Lagos which they have allowed us to have the use of along with one of their cars.

After 2,000 miles in a 31ft boat it is 5 star luxury

It is all newly fitted out down to the pots, pans and cutlery – Louise has banned me from touching anything in case I break it!

I am allowed to do my “Pool Boy” though.

 

Our next and only other visitors over the winter were David and Iain. As usual this resulted in one or two boisterous nights which are always fun, well, at least they are until the next day. However, we still managed out for a wee sail, albeit a bit of a lumpy one which unfortunately cut it short. Seemingly, a few boats set out for the Canaries and turned back it was so lumpy.

Day out at Cape St Vincent.

Followed by curry (of course) and drinks
