We have spent the last two days cleaning the Sahara off our decks. Everything is dusty. It’s very obvious that south is to starboard as lines, bags, paint, canvas on that side has taken much more of a beating from the sun.
Off our stern, as we recorded last time we were here, is a slipway where they exercise some of the island’s many trotting ponies and give their legs a restorative soak. This pony was towed around Sliema harbour for a while. We did wonder what day shapes the entire arrangement should have been showing to keep everybody safe. Is it tug and a tow, under fifty feet long? Or a diver? We think we should be told.
