Bob and Sue – here’s what they do

and what they like to continue with…

 Two weeks of lazy bones, sailing, music, full moon and sunshine and recreation.

 The first thing I saw, meeting Bob at the ‘puerto’ in Torrevieja was a HUGE black kind of suit case, something like an oversized but square golf bag.

 Bob with his white beard looks like santa clause and he was, indeed, bringing me in that case a keybord, one of this technical advanced thing to replace all orchestra instruments including of course the sound of an piano.

I am still overwhelmed! and  incredible thankful.

 Bob relaxed a whole week, sleeping enough, had good food and drinks and enjoying watching other boats owners being busy and cleaning and polishing and repairing their boats.

After all this was the first time in years he had vacation for 14 days.

He was just as helpful with all duties on board as everyone and did the cleaning and washing of plates and the ship, too.

At another day, we got out the dinghy, did a lot of  pumping  and had a harbour tour, after we managed to water the 2.70 meter long vehicle and installed the 2,5 horsepower outborder.

now, of course, there is an electrical pump :-)

Too, of course we went sailing with some moderate wind along the bay for some days and had our fun with that.

 Bob has a good feeling for the wind in the sails and helmed the ship in an excellent way.

In the second week Bob and I met four nice english ladies.in the harbour and I invited them to have a look to our sailing ship, because of their interest to it, which they agreed to.

Some days later we had the pleasure of their company on board for an sundowner.

Sue, one of the ladies, always had the wish to sail and at the weekend she came back from rainy England, full of positive energy and we had her in the second cabin on board for three days of sailing.

Talking about diffeferent things and joking on board is a common thing but when it comes to body language, Bob is the master…teaching us, how to uuuhhhh????

When tired from ‘home cooking’, there is always the alternative to have a nice meal somewhere in the marina restaurants and enjoying the food there.

After breakfast the next day Sue was packed with power.

Sue has a passion for sailing and I am sure, she will be a real ‘sailor’ after learning the basics of sailing.

It does not took Sue a long and she learned to helm the boat.

At one day we went out with a good wind of 20 to 25 knots and we managed to be as quick as the ships from the regatta which took place at the same time.

The ‘full moon tour’ planned for Saturday night at that weekend, we unfortunately had to skip due to too much good food and drinks and the friday evening of doing and listening to great music followed of a sudden tiredness  J by that.

The last day on board is always cleaning the ship inside and outside and even with this job we had our fun.

Bob and Sue will come back some when and we will enjoy more of the same.
