BLACK JACK

The following day from my ear and eating problems in Tenerife, very much worse for wear, I still committed myself to the previous booking on the Black Jack and experience this sailing vessel across the South Coastline, following Whales. This was very much a sunbather’s task as all there was were deck… all exposed. Had it not been for my ongoing ear problems, I may have enjoyed it more, however, this luxury trip with Canapés and Champagne, I did very well. At this anchored spot, I decided to take my ears by the horn and sample the Sea’s comforts as I thought maybe the Sea pressure might return my hearing. I was prepared in case, so peeled off down to trunks and headed down the ladder to plunge into the warm waters… It was so relaxing and as the water was calm, this reassured me for a while as I do not like being out of my depth, but with the way I felt anyway, I thought 10 minutes was ample. Then was the gravity struggle as I tried to re-climb the ladder with soaking trunks pulling me back down! There was plenty of time to dry out properly on deck before arriving back to Port. On return to Port, the collection vehicle was not there, so after half hour wait we decided to make our own ways back to respective Hotels. (There were only us 3 on this trip) Ocean Palace was only 20 minutes walk, so I enjoyed that stroll.
