Time Bandit

It’s back to the Caribbean leaving a chilly USA east coast for the winter months in the sun.

Home Run

30 August 2014 | Largs Sailing Club
What a differences day makes!

On 20th August we left Time Bandit safely tucked up in Gibraltar and left 34c Malaga for 10c in Scotland!

Mid flight, risking a short jail term, I discretely and somewhat embarrassingly for Anne, slipped out of my shorts and T-shirt and into jeans and fleece.

We landed about midnight for 10 days of enjoying the change from Euro lager to a good pint of heavy! From men in tight swimming trunks to guys dressed for the weather and grease dripping pies instead of tapas.

It really is a bit of a culture shock, driving home at night on wheels in a steel box through lit streets with wild deer roaming around rather than wet and dark dinghy rides motoring around the anchorage trying to spot your anchor light amongst a hundred others.

Then into a bed that doesn't rock in a bedroom you can actually swing a cat in!

Why do we do it?

Anyway, our time here is at an end and from Monday we will be back aboard preparing to head for Morocco and on the the Canaries.

Watch this space.
