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

Thursday 4th

Not sure what the plans are for today. I would have liked to in on a longer walk on the northern coast but Margaret said she does not want to sit on the bus for a couple of hours it would take to get there. Probably end up not walking and just going for a wine tasting walk round Blandy's wine lodge. End up tiddly and sleep it off all afternoon.
