Final Destination
Lagos
After 3 hours sleep we got up for the next shift. Virtually nothing happened, so we did sudoku and glanced at the vague horizon occasionally. Back to bed at 6am and then up 7 for the sunrise, which was OK, but nothing special. I keep remembering L’Aber Wrach.
So back to the cabin, most of the time was spent chatting to Sue on the phone. John sent a text to see if we could get a decent shot of his apartment complex from the sea. So I checked the map and we would be there in about an hour.
So here we are .. at last … Lagos

We pulled up on the welcome jetty in the channel and got our berth sorted out. We motored around and docked pretty smoothly. Time for a beer or two. We finished off the rest of the curry and then went off to do our washing in the laundrette. The air-conditioned launderette. While the washing was going I had a quick but necessary shower and then back to the launderette to get the clothes in the dryer and have an ice cream.
Lisa and Geoff came over for drinks on the boat and then to complete the cycle we went for
We then walked back to the boat, said goodbye to Lisa and Geoff for the evening. We were supposed to have out vintage port, but everyone was soo knackered that we just went to bed.
Goodnight John-boy.
