In port and sea

We are sitting off Malaga as I send this, wallowing in a big swell. Naturally the Captain does not want to bang up his new ship, and the port is closed so it may well be that we move on elsewhere. The sea was really rough coming through the Straits of Gibralter. But we have adopted the Sailor's swagger quite nicely, so all is well with us. The Captain is currently telling us that we will not be going in - so will turn away and will go in to Palma tomorrow morning - a half day call - but it is all new,and these things are part of the fabric of travelling.
Have raided the Library naturally, and got some light reading - Jane Green, Michael Dobbs, and the Queen Mothers official biography! Will go back for more today. The IT man in the Library is great, and spent a couple of hours getting us running on wireless. All good now.
Will report on another day. More soon
