Sailing to Morocco! (life at sea)

Goodbye, Lagos!

Forgot to secure the kitchen before the waves came...

Captain Bird returns!




No wildlife pictures can ever be in focus, right?

Great watch ahead.

Bird mess cleaning action.

Quarantene flag! ("Hey guys, we're foreigners.")






These were cramped together on one bench, doing the foreigner paperwork.
They mostly spoke arabic and french, and after some confusion we understood they wanted to know the member of crew on the boat. "Two; me and my daughter," my dad said.
After a few minutes of hard discussion between the policeman and the militants the best english speaker turned to us and said: "I don know what es doter."
As you can imagine, it took a while to get it all sorted out.

They invited themselves for some water and soda, and we spent most of the time discussing water prices in Portugal, Morocco and Norway. After some hours, the policeman came back with our passports and asked for another bottle of Portuguese water.
"Errr, you're welcome...?"

Someone is getting ready for christmas!

Tomorrow we leave for Marrakech. Buses seems to be a complicated thing, but we hope to get there eventually. There'll be a lot of exotic sightings over there, I'll get back to you next time we have stable wi-fi! Excitiiing!
Ellie out.
