Trying to calm down from sheer panic.
Got to ferry dock for ferry from here (G.C.) to Huelva.
Nada. I'm not booked on. Showed him all my booking details, told me to go to office.
They had a ticket waiting for me. The boat has been diverted and now going to Cadiz. I booked thru a third party site and they hadn't told me.
I've booked a hotel in Huelva tmrw night, but this will save me 2 hours ride.
I'm staying in Cadiz anyway over the weekend.
Pen's gonna give them a bollocking and try to get refund on hotel
My heart sank and was in real panic as I've paid a lot for this weekend riding at Jerez.
And true to Canarian time, not started boarding yet. Ramps still up.
Supposed to sail in 12 minutes
It gets worse/dafter.
This ferry to Spain stopped putting onto our island so had to get little ferry to G.C.
This morning's change of destination also added another stop en route.
The bugger has just pulled into Arrecife port. 5 miles from our house.
Don't know whether to laugh or cry
Just checked the website and this is planned stop on next ferry.
They changed it awhile ago to skip here, but it's changed back since I booked.
Just having a cheeky afternoon beer, right by the beach.
After the 3 days of insanity earlier this week, it's nice to have 3 days off before it all starts again Saturday
Well, sort of. For some unknown reason, the ferry is missing our island (as planned) and calling in at Puerto de Rosario on Fuerteventura. Doesn't normally stop on Fuerteventura
Then we wait a bit for ferry to take us to Playa Blanca. Then 40 mins ride home.
There's bigger problems in the world. Just wondering WTF caused this one

How your Spanish coming along, cos i reckon you're simply on the wrong boat!
On the ferry from Fuerteventura to Lanzarote. It's a bloody huge catamaran but rocking and rolling like a rolly thing.
Never seen anything like it. Thought Cats were stable.
A few folk emptying their stomachs
I'm just hoping they tied the bikes down properly. I suppose they're used to it.
Just done a spin class with the choose to lose programme.....wot a lode of bollix...noisy "music", the leaders pa was inaudible....next person that suggests I do one of those will get a serious talking to. I honestly do not see much point in gyms.....I do plenty walking in my job and I know I drink too much....but spin class....yuk!!!!!
Turned off a lot of railway for engineering work but about 90 minutes later than planned as an engineering train was running about an hour late!
"Of all the stories you told me, which ones were true and which ones weren't?"
"My dear Doctor, they're all true."
"Even the lies?"
"Especially the lies."

Pissed off. Rained off. Supposed to be out on GasGas but rain all over the island. Never happened before
Now watching MotoGP instead.
I so want to say it's sunny here - but it's not!! I turned down a lift to a beer festival as the forecast wasn't that bad. But it's drizzling - kinda have to go anyway
Life is for living. Buy the shoes. Eat the cake. Ride the bikes. Just, ride the bikes!!
