Monday 30th. Back on the boat.

I have arrived back on the boat to find it damp and smelly and half the electrics don't work. Maybe it always smells this bad and I had just gotten used to it. Cushions are wet and have gone mouldy. The seals that I put around the windows have had their first proper test in three months and don't seem to have passed. The weather isn't looking any better for the coming week either. I think the best thing to do is drink some beer and climb into my sleeping bag.

Nomad. Happy at anchor. Change of mind. I enjoyed the row ashore yesterday evening, good exercise. Rowing because the outboard needs attention, it has petrol coming out where it shouldn't. I'll stay in Faro awhile. The next good forecast for crossing the bay of Cadiz is Wed/Thur and the Gibraltar straits Sat/Sun. That's the plan. The weather is incredible, it's 21c here, 28c in Valencia. The big white birds that I saw on the shore coming in weren't storks, I don't know what they were, these are storks, there's loads of them here in the town centre. I bought oranges in the supermarket yesterday. What a fool! More storks. Sometimes they make a click clucking sound like the zombies in World War Z.

Tuesday 5th September. Algorta old port with Mary. That's the Basque flag that I'm flying.

But look..., It seems I have strayed into some kind of falangist, maybe neo fascist marina. But I'm getting 14 nights for 150 euros, so that's ok. 8th September. Sisters.
