The Stavvy

The First Adventure of 2010

The Galloping Grandma is off again! This time I am flying out to Tenerife where I join the Volunteer Crew of the Stavros S Niarchos as Assistant Cook. We then sail from Tenerife to Madeira, no doubt calling in several places en-route. We anticipate getting to Madeira on 28th January and I am then being joined by my friend Margaret to spend the next 6 days walking on, the extremely hilly, or should I say mountainous, Madeira Island.

This is where I like to be, up the rigging or out along the yards

Hot and sunny

Beautiful weather here. i will be able to top up my tan this afternoon when I am off duty 4 a couple of hours. Captain Liam is as surly and miserable as always but that doesnt trouble me. Mini ashore soon. I feel a long, cool glass of sangria coming on.
