The next morning I spent two hours faffing – good word but you know what I mean, with the engine trying to trace the smell of diesel – not a chance and after running the engine for most of the two hours it didn’t smell either – I give up for now – most boats more than a few years old are best described as “jobs in progress”, so that will have to go on the to do list for a while.
Meanwhile Carole went off to drop off the washing and ended up finding a series of walks in the next door national park. We got the bikes out in the afternoon and just cycled around a series of tracks through the forests – full of umbrella pines, prickly pears and some sort of broom – absolutely wonderful.
We had meant to leave El Rompido today, but the setting was just great so we decided to stop another night and then when we found a bar that will show the rugby, England V France, we convinced ourselves that we need to stop two more nights. The weather is settled and hot so getting out of this place shouldn’t be too difficult. But what am I worried about, if the weather turns and we can’t get out of the lagoon we can just stop for a few more days – can’t get used to not having to rush back to work. Normally by now we’d be dashing back to the home port and sorting the boat out to leave it for a couple of months – weird.
