Monday was spent completing the last few jobs that are on our list for Las Palmas. We had a leisurely start to the day then headed on land to order the spare rope from the Sailmakers and pick up a few more bits from the supermarket. A quick trip on the tender into the marina, which we have now got down to a fine art, including use of the ever useful Kag-In-A-Bag to prevent that salt sprayed look as you walk around the town.
We’d seen a large hardware shop that we’d hoped to get some plywood to replace the seat for our tender which is of pretty flimsy construction and has already cracked. However, we discovered that the term Ferreteria is used quite loosely and this seemed to only sell curtains, so I guess that job will linger a little longer on the boat jobs list. Hopefully, when we get to Tenerife and hire a car we will have more luck, the centre of a city by foot is not the easiest to get supplies. Ironically we found the same at the supermarket, they have been refitting the shop the entire time we have been here and the shelf layout is changed everytime we go, with only partial stock available on each visit, even now we have come away without all we set out for, items which were on sale when we first went.
A beer and some people watching this time at the Tropical bar (Heinken bar seems to shut on a Monday), then back to the boat. Kevin was reaching the end of “The Ionian Mission”, number 8 of the Patrick O’Brien series so a quiet night of reading last night.
