After a few days hanging around waiting for some wind down at the bottom of the island it's now gone southwesterly (and forecast to increase to 30 knots in a few days time!)
That, coupled with the fact that Mike just doesn't have a 'good feeling' about it means we will be staying in the Canaries for a while yet.
The cat was also unimpressed. Mike said one night she let out the wierdest, loud, long cry he has ever heard.....that spooked him!
So anyways, he's back on Pontoon R - subject to gentle ribbing from the other occupants - and the cat is happy again.
Unfortunately, Mike has now done something serious to his back. Wasn't exerting himself particularly, just twisted it wrong whilst leaning over the stern to adjust some ropes.
He could hardly get his words out between the 'oohs' and 'aaahs' and 'aaarghs' whilst on the phone to me this morning :(
Luckily we have got strong painkillers in our medical kit. Just as well it didn't happen whilst crossing the atlantic alone eh?
