Adios Espana









Hi Everyone and Mr Chris Rolfe.

Mr. Chris Rolfe is 30 years old now and gets upset when I don't personally involve him in the goings on whilst of course I haven't got better things to be doing with my time than fumbling around the keyboard typing Mr. Chris Rolfe.
So Mr. Chris Rolfe are you satisfied now, you old moaning bearded git. You can tell your fiancee, Miss Claire Hill to stop E-Mailing me your moans and gripes whilst I'm fumbling around the keyboard looking for the Mr. Chris Rolfe button.
As for the rest of my blogfans, please be upstanding for Mr. Chris Rolfe and Miss Claire Hill who will be, as of the 6th August 2008, Mr and Mrs Chris Rolfe.

If all goes as planned!

ME ME ME ME ME, THIS BLOG IS ABOUT MEEEEEEEEEEEE, piss off Chris.
If you decide to chicken out, then Claire knows where to find ME.

Thanks to ALL ABOARD: The Nautical Adventures of MultiMedia Texas Pete, Claire will of course be able to Hop aboard 'The Lady Fisher', plenty more in the sea Chris, whip on son. The Doc won't mind, He's got the Marineros Horn at the moment. I'm not thinking about it which is kinda difficult when The Doc keeps going on about His. He's The Captain, He's The Boss (sorry Mr. Springsteen), He's The Skipper. I Have to say 'Yes' Captain, 'Yes Boss, 'Aye' Skipper, 'Me too!' but I haven't really, I is too busy typing Mr. Chris Rolfe to have the Marineros Horn.
Too damn busy writing my blog to be thinking of Miss Claire Hill, Too Flaming busy cleaning The Lady Fisher to be Fishing for clean Ladies. 'Cause I'm justa sittin on the dock of the bay, wasting.

By this time tomorrow I wont' be thinking of Mr. Chris Rolfe or Miss Claire Hill whilst I'm sitting on the dock of the bay wasting in Spain,
Nope ,
I won't be thinking Of Miss Chris Hill or Mr Claire Rolfe whilst I'm sitting on the dock of the bay wasting in PORTUGAL.
Triffic!!! Like Spain but poorer and I don't speak the language. just great. Might be able to gain access to some fresh milk though! I know the Spaniards put asparagus in bags of frozen mixed veg but U.H.T. sucks now, I went to a supermarket recently and was told next Thursday for fresh milk. Dickheads.

Does anyone know Portugese for fresh milk!

It's gonna be the longest sail since crossing the Biscay but we've had enough of U.H.T and the Portugese coast is about as interesting as Mr. Chris Rolfe and Miss Claire Hill so it's gonna be longer sails from now on until such time as there is some more interesting coastline to explore.

Please understand that if I had a surfboard, the Portugese coast would be interesting with it's swells and sandbanks and surf, however, I have only a 34 foot, 4 tonne yacht and of course The Doc. Therefore, In the sake of safety for The Doc, The Lady Fisher, Multimedic Texans, Claire and Chris, we are gonna fly by The Portugese Coast.

Incidentally, the Portugese fishermen drop lobster pots and nets as far as 10 miles offshore, marked only by black (visible) flags, empty plastic tubs or best of all TWIGS!!!!!
We Brits follow European mandates far too closely to the written word.
Here. on the Iberian Peninsula, they don't give a ffffffuck about the suits in Brussels.
This time tomorrow hopefully we will be just north of Porto.

Sorry for the terrible layout of this blog, as videos/photos upload at such a slow rate, I have to just keep on writing as the megakilobyte action ocurs which gives me no control over where the text will be when the uploaded efforts of my day appear.
You do realise that half my spare time on land is spent looking for blog photo/video opportunities and the other half is sat in a shitty bar writing to you and sighing deeply when the upload crashes
and the other half is spent sleeping so I can do all 3 halves again tomorrow.
The Video... Climbing the interior of the Statue of the Virgin Mary , The only Virgin I've ever been in or indeed up.
