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

Sunday morning

We went to anchor at midnight so I was woken up by watertight door alarms and anchor chains clanking down. Found it difficult to sleep after that and was up at 5am. Day is overcast but quite bright. Crew are going to do rowing in the long boats and possibly swimming. BBQ tonight so lots of salads etc to do.
