BIG BROTHERS WILL BE WATCHING
ME
Martin the youngest
brother and Nita his wife will arrive first and Andy has
not seen them for 5 years. Toby will just love it more
walks and more tit bits so all visitors are welcome and
he does love the chats over the wall.
The usual airport pick-up but a little emotional for me
as in five years of us living here there first visit so
at least we have lots to show them.
On the sea that’s what we
all did next day, we were going sailing on a Yacht with
our very own Captain Carlos L.Castellanos at the helm.
The Yacht was about 32
feet and takes about 8 persons but we were only 4 plus a
young couple who were on their honeymoon. I must
apologize to them as I lost their names but we all had a
great time.
Firstly we sailed out to
Lobos and the wind in your hair and the noise of the
sails being hoisted was one of the most exciting
feelings I have felt.
Imagine what the large
yachts that sail in the Fastnet Race must feel, the
danger the speed of having to move from one side of the
boat to the other as the sail turns steering the boat
with such graceful movements.
Now that’s another story
as we were laid sunbathing on the bow drinking our free
beer and wine watching our apartment disappear on the
horizon, the sails fully blowing and us skimming the
waves,HEAVEN!!
Change sides the captain
bellows, does he mean turn over for the sun I thought,
not being a person with experience of this sailing lark,
I tried to turn as on doing so realized Andy and the
others were sat on the other side of the boat and the
sail was over my head.
OOPS!! I DO KNOW OUR HEADS ARE THE HEAVIEST PART OF OUR
BODY
So now get the picture my
head is hanging over the side of the boat nearest the
water and my legs are certainly higher than the rest of
my body, my short denim skirt has wrinkled up to a belt
as I am hanging on to the thin rope (handrail) for dear
life and I do not swim so fish food I would be..
This hand rope, well if I
slip through I would end up like a crinkle cut chip,
HELP ME ANDY,where’sJohnny Depp anyone man nearly
overboard???
Everyone seems to laughing and Andy with 2 cans of beer
in his hand was not much help but my brother came to the
rescue.
The honeymoon couple just looked on with awe and I told
them afterwards that being together 16 years the beer
takes priority.
We next anchored up and
Martin went for a snorkel me I just sat in one position
throwing bread in for the fish very close to Marty so
the fish could have a nibble of him, he shouldn’t have
laughed at me.
We were served with fresh
bread rolls of cheese and ham and some lovely snik-snaks
and more wine.
This is the life we all said bobbing up and down on the
blue ocean with the sun and wind gently blowing.
Joking aside I would really recommend this trip to
charter a yacht of your own including a captain and crew
for 65 euros each.
We all loved it and will certainly do this very often,
as it was so relaxing and so free and easy.
I might take a MAE WEST with me next time as I do not
swim but if you want to charter this boat TELEPHONE
Carlos 0034 619 036 835 or find Debbie on the harbour
and she will help you.

THE OTHER BROTHER ARRIVES.
I NOW HAVE TWO FOR THE PRICE OF ONE
It’s Rays birthday and he said 21yrs so that makes me
22yrs dream on Ray!!
We booked a table in Bar Luna where they made a special
effort with our table and a present of a chocolate cake
written in Spanish and the Bros were impressed.
This was quite a special
night as we had not all been together for at least 5
years but as always with family it felt like yesterday
except for our wrinkles???
Rachael entertained us
with MR napkin head ..
while Marty and I STUFFED
CAKE.
Next we went to the
excusive 5 star hotel Bahia Real for cocktails, sat on
the veranda listening to the sea and talking about old
times.
I think our partners were
a little bored but at least they got to know us more!!
We had a great time
together but OH I forgot to mention I had a first time
experience of a puncture, Marty, Nita and I were bumping
up and down on the North Shore track and being me trying
to impress them I was driving a little fast when my tyre
hit a stone and bang, PUNCTURE??
I AM SO GLAD My bro was
with me, as he needed to show me how to change a tyre,
but with my acrylic painted nails just how can I jack a
jeep up and I could not even lift the spare of the back.
I suggested we wait for the A.A or R.A.C BUT THEN I
REMEMBERED WE WERE IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE.
I DID HELP AND WIND THE JACK BUT WHEN I GOT UP FROM MY
KNEES THEY LOOKED LIKE THEY WERE PEBBLEDASHED.
Joking aside I really do not know how a woman can change
a tyre so maybe someone needs to start a service to help
us women who have manicured nails!!!
That’s all for this week, next week B.B.Q on beach and
Opening of CASTAWAYS with Neil Diamond and Barbara
Streisand ?????
SEE YA
