Lagos

FRIDAY 9 2007

A boat called Inshala was berthed in front of us on the waiting pontoon which was flying the Welsh flag. We spoke to the owner, Colin, and then realised Richard, who had taught sailing with Roger, was also on the boat! Rainbow Dreamer, Roger Bennet’s boat from Swansea was berthed in front of Inshala, making three Swansea boats in a row!

We found our berth and a Dutch couple, Jaab and Diana on Kiara, who Roger had met in Ribadesella, were berthed opposite us. We had showers and went to meet up with our friends from Swansea Yacht Club, Tudor and Barbara, who are spending most of the winter here on their boat Yooannme.

Later on we met Barbara and Tudor in the South Bar to use the free internet access and went to Roger’s favourite Chinese Restaurant which is in the Marina.


SATURDAY 10 NOVEMBER 2007

Roger and I wandered around Lagos after a leisurely breakfast in a cafĂ© and visited the 17th century fortress on the seafront and the site of Europe’s first slave market where slaves were brought from the Sahara in 1441.
