Final day in Tenerife - getting ready to go

With favourable weather forecast we didn’t want to delay and it was good to have our final bits and pieces ready to go.

We had some lovely sunshades made for the cockpit by a fantastic Spanish guy, he spoke 3 words or English to go with our 3 words of Spanish but he delivered exactly what we wanted J.  Now we just need the sunshine of the Caribbean J

Lovely new sun shades

We also have a brand new VHF radio which Dan delivered which will be more reliable than what we had and if another boat picks us up AIS he will be able to obtain our MMSI number and call us directly on the radio.  One of our most important new purchases is a new liferaft, we hoped just to get ours serviced but this was not possible as ours was just too old L although we hope never to us it, we want to if we do it will do the job.

Shiny new liferaft

We prepared our Christmas corner and attempted to get a good night sleep before the long week ahead.

Look at Santa on the table, he is our Christmas present from Debbie and it is really nice to make the boat so festive
