Well me hearties time to put the sea legs away and become airborne. Off to Tenerife tomorrow morning for a month and have had such a busy week with relatives and visitors am knackered so looking forward to it. Not allowed any computers etc by SWMBO and I never carry one anyway. Time to catch up on some reading, bronzying, drinking and dancing, but not necessarily in that order. Keep a good course and look forward to coming back up the gangway in the not too distant future. May pop into one of those 'Internet Cafe' thingies and check for semaphore messages and how our worthy vessel is sailing. Cheers!! Skol!!
Salute!!. Chen bai!! etc etc

Wish you both a bonzer time, Ivan. I wonder if the canary bum-boats still ply their canaries in little cages singing their little hearts out until you've paid your money and realise that it was the seller doing the whistling.

Re: Ijc awol
Just remember Ivan , if sending a message by semaphore PT is not Physical Training, but require a pilot, cant remember the one for requiring tugs. Knowing however you will just be a sociable drinker will not require either. When Lying in the sun remember keep on repeating Oh God make me brown. Have a good un and go easy on the girls. Cheers JS

Hi Ivan.
Enjoy with your wife all the lovely sunshine, a swim in the Atlantic will be a nice reviver after a night out, close your eyes on the beach and think of NOTHING.
Cheers Des

Ivan, a wonderful spot for a break. When we lived in Uk we went twice a year it was such a great spot. Enjoy and don't worry too much about SWHBO she will be too busy watching what is going on with the locals, so go for it mate.


Happy daze John in Oz.
