On the morning of 9 March 2026 we moored in Morro Jable – and were greeted by the perfect welcome committee: Martin – not to be confused with Martin from the Isly; this Martin runs a bar here in Morro Jable –, Moni and Ralf were there, and more boat neighbours dropped by one after another.
A morning drink that lasted until evening
All the wine we had brought from Madeira and our entire beer supply were emptied completely – even though it was still early in the morning! Then everyone fetched fresh supplies from their own boats, and later Hermann and Sylvie joined us too. We celebrated extensively until the evening.
Steffi and I were accordingly tired afterwards – we just fell into bed. The next day we did absolutely nothing, not even clean the boat. We simply lazed about.
Karaoke in Martin’s bar
On 11 March we went to the karaoke night in Martin’s bar. Photos and videos of it had better stay under lock and key – but it was definitely very, very funny! We had a great evening with Markus and his wife.
“Just a quick job …”
A day or two later George from the jet ski rental helped us service our Williams Turbojet. You know how it is: we only wanted to do a quick oil change. That turned into an oil change, replacing all the filters, all the anodes, the fuel pump – and whatever else comes along.
While fastening a hose, a plastic part snapped – and that put the Turbojet out of action. We had to get the spare part at home and could only fit it on our next trip. Very, very annoying! Five hours of wrenching for something that normally takes an hour – that’s just how it goes when you want to do something “quickly”.
On 17 March we flew home to Germany again. And we’re already looking forward to seeing our friends on Fuerteventura again …
