Boat ride

Saturday 31^st March

J touched up the stairs and painted the dining room cupboard whilst I caught up with blog. After dumping stuff at Punto Limpio and going to see Antonio about making kitchen sink brackets, booked car in for servivio at Opel garage in Fuengirola, and then on to market. Ricardo phoned to invite us out on his boat tomorrow, but the phone cut out.

Got a few things such as a useful handy dandy tile cutter and water jug. Then on to wifi café to post blog. Midway through eating, Ricardo phones to say he was on the water and waiting for us at the Porto, so we agreed to meet him in 30 minutes.

Weather overcast and a strong wind, and sea very choppy. Waves got bigger as we went up the coast towards Marbella, and a lot of spray. Ricardo turned the boat and accelerated, nearly tipping J out of boat, and sped down wind putting boat through its paces….very fast.

After mooring about 3.30, went for a milk shake with R and family, and then back to wifi café to post blog. J unwell after milkshake. Home via Aki to get uplighter and bits , and garden centre to get a large pot to take home, and Mercadona to get food and wine.
