Monday morning was spent going through our stores working out our meal itinerary, with the pilot guides advising on stocking up here in the Canaries when planning an Atlantic crossing via the Verdes as food prices tend to be more expensive.
This is quite an interesting exercise and you would not believe how long these things can take!
Later that afternoon Tina called to arrange to meet for a coffee at the Real Club Nautico with the family, we arranged to meet at 5-30, with little Tina and Rafa junior having lessons in Karate at the club followed by a swim in the pool. Tina was aware that my birthday was looming and had baked a cake to celebrate the occasion the kids duly sang happy birthday to me in both Spanish and English, which was very touching. The cake was fabulous all concerned tucked into the cake after blowing out the candles of course.
Both Jo and I agree that both Christina and Rafael have a great family and are examples for others follow on being parents!
We then came back to the boat after saying our goodbyes to Tina and the kids and made some excuse being back at the boat to use the internet (translates to going to the bar, being the only place we can communicate to you good people)
