And this folks is the view from one of our windows! Three months of blue skies and now this - at least the decks are getting a good wash and rinse out there. Last night we had a non-stop thunder storm with massive flashes of green lightening : Never knawed a night like it. We lay in our berths consoling ourselves with the thought that our little mast was probably the shortest in the fleet here in Barbate Marina therefore unlikely to take a direct hit. Greg was worried our onboard technology, so carefully installed and nurtured by him these past months, would be 'ZAPPED' with squillions of volts by some stray lightning bolt. The rain has continued all day long, sometimes coming down as it does in the Tropics, and as I type it is making yet another appearance. It's almost midnight so fingers crossed the lightening won't reappear tonight. I love the storms, lying in the boat listening to the mayhem outside is strangely comforting, but I am oh so glad we are not out to sea in it. We hope to have a wind and weather window to head down to Gibraltar sometime this weekend, but if not, there are worse places to be than Barbate :O) Here comes the rain AGAIN...
