We set the alarm for 6am to have time for a Flynn wee walk and a cuppa, before getting to Tanger Med at 7am for the 9am sailing. I stupidly thought we were talking the wrong turning onto the motorway, panicked, and sent us on a 32 km deviation back towards Tanger. That meant we…

The rain continued but we were getting itchy feet/wheels. After Flynn and I had had a look at the local fishing fleet, and Jane and I had scouted breakfast in a very dejected looking Asilah we set off north again towards the port and an almost mythical 6pm boat to Spain. We arrived at about…

The rain lashed it down all night, and when I checked the forecasts in the morning, I found that the port of Algeciras, where we’re returning to from Tangier Med, was closed until Thursday night.

Today was very much a travel day – we set off early and drove east to Meski, with only two stops – bread and walking Flynn. We are only allowed two months away from home before our house’s insurance company throw their hands in the air, deny us insurance, and invite the local arsonists round with…

Thursday was mainly a travel day. We drove up the Draa Valley. It’s very green and every settlement is surrounded by fields of date palms. Some of the older towns are falling into disrepair though. You might think this is hundreds of years old. It may be but also it might just be tens of…
