Yesterday we continued our efforts and eventually finished all the “professional” videos we had wanted to produce to showcase Paw Paw, as well as linked our For Sale website to our Whereispawpaw website and advertised her on a few more platforms, in addition to dropping the price, in the hope of increasing her exposure and making her more attractive from a pricing perspective.

To get this completed, though, neither of us had a minutes break from when we opened our eyes until it was time to have a shower and get ready for our evening outing; a barbecue at Andy and Paul’s home, after they moved back into it. Friends, Graham and Lesley, were there too and we were delighted to meet Andy and Paul’s daughter as well. Needless to say, another wonderful evening ensued, sitting on their patio, enjoying the cool breeze and spectacular seascapes while savouring a delicious meal, accompanied by the usual copious amounts of alcohol.

Before we knew it, though, the night had come to a close and we were saying our goodbyes, always a sad occasion, but we had more great memories to take with us.

This morning Roy was up early and took a walk to the shop for a few provisions, while Elaine got Paw Paw ready to set sail for Gran Canaria. However, since this was to be an overnight sail, we spent the day anchored off Papagayo Beach at the southeastern end of Isla de Lanzarote, where we both enjoyed an afternoon nap to take the edge off our fatigue. Clearly we had partied harder than we realised!

By 2345 we had weighed anchor and set a course for Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, our final staging point prior to our Atlantic Ocean crossing.
