The afternoon tides have left us... perhaps for a while!

Well, yesterday was our last chance to sail on these tides until the next set return early next week. There hasn't been much wind anyway. the fact is that we have probably overstayed our cureent weather window welcome.

We are considering returning to the UK in the near future as our time will be better spent if we return in the windier periods. I would expect to be back in mid-August.

We will save that decision for now. VESTAS SAILROCKET is fully prepped for her next outing. We nearly got out yesterday but the wind fizzled. The absence of both wind and water over the next few days, mixed with the fact that the boat is in good shape... will allow us the rare luxury to make a foray out into the big, beautiful and ever beckoning desert. We want to see some wildlife and get our heads out of the container and away from the boat for a change.

We will make the call on whether we return to the UK based upon the weather forecast we get when we come back in a few days.

Cheers, Paul.
