Due to the delay in the race start date it is now more cost effective for us to fly home for a week than stay in La Gomera. We have been renting an apartment and the cost of doing this until race start date now exceeds the cost of flights home and back.
I have now been here for nearly four weeks and although not looking forward to the English weather it will be great to back for a while. Lia left England in May to drive a powerboat to Spain and has not returned since then as she has had a series of jobs including running the power boat and delivering a 48ft Carbon catarmaran from South Africa to Dubai amongst others.
On the subject of weather you will be pleased to hear that it is now raining heavily so we can sympathise a little with you all in cold old England and elsewhere around the world. It is however strangely warm and we are still in shorts and flip flops, so it's not all bad.
As a result we will be flying back on Friday afternoon (I'm not looking forward to landing at Stanstead as I only have shorts and flip flops. I sent all my other clothes back last week thinking we would be starting rowing).
We have to be back in La Gomera 48 hours before race start (13:00 27th Dec)and can only get flights back to meet this deadline on Christmas day. We therefore will be flying back to the Canary Islands at midday on Christmas Day so no Turkey for us! unless Luton Airport offers it in the departure lounge (Yum!)
