3rd May

Our first sail. Would the steering work, have we put the sails up correctly, what could possibly go wrong? We were both a bit nervous motoring out of the river for the first time this year. There was one important problem, the wind direction indicator didn't work. Annoying but not vital. Everything else seemed OK. We went to Alvor and dropped the anchor. The new anchor roller looked great. Then back to the marina. We were planning to leave about 8am but discovered the marina office doesn't open until 9. We need them to open the bridge. And the Lagos marathon is taking place and the course crosses the bridge. Will they open it at all? We will find out.
