Peurto de Mogan - Base of Operations

Another sunny day here blowing 15 knots+ with a northerly swell. Below are a couple of shots from our hostel Volver Hostel (bunk style shared accomodation for 7.50 Euros/night) up on the hill.  The architecture here is very bohemian with most lodgings just built into the hillside with winding access ruelles winding their way up through the addresses.


As you can see the weather changes considerably over the course of a couple of days

Yesterday

This morning

Weather reports still shows a fantastic high pressure system coming our way to establish the traditional trade winds, east to west from Africa, that should last 3-5 weeks! These wind patterns are like we learned about in 3rd grade Social Studies.  Very cool to be travelling the same trade winds from hundreds of years ago that I read about as a child.

Certainly back in my element, on the high seas subject to mother natures whim.  Each day is an adventure.  Awakens in me suspicions that I may have been a Viking in a former life.

Feasted on all you can eat ribs last night and have been eating non-stop in an effort to put on as much weight as I can prior to shoving off.  Ice cream!!!!

Time for a mid-morning snack and a quick nap!
