I get up late today: 10 a.m. Guess I need to recover. It will be a quiet day. No activity planned. We work on the boat, Marie-Andrée comes to join us for breakfact (10:30-11 a.m.). She brings us take out from the Sailor's bay restaurant opposite the dock. We work a little on the boat, then we go for lunch at a Burger King in a shopping center for tourists (in our opinion). Yes I know, what are we doing here. We don't eat much because it's almost 4 p.m., and we're not that hungry, but we still have to eat and we take the opportunity to stop for groceries and decide to keep the car for another day.
We're having dinner at Pier 19. We saw that Vanessa is still working there. And as in our memories she had Wednesdays and Thursdays off, we know that she will be there today. In fact, we saw her from afar. But when we show up around 7:15 p.m., she’s not there. We are told that she will be there later. So we order, with Tino. He's really charming too. It must be a prerequisite to work there, because all the employees are friendly. He lets us know that she will be there around 9 p.m. We order an incredible fish ceviche, we thought it was what we had already taken, but we were wrong, it was a carpaccio before. Superb error on our part, it is divine! Then once again the garlic prawns and vegetable rolls. We are thrilled. I want to have the tuna tataki that I didn't finish last time, one of my best ever, but to give Marie-Andrée the experience, I'm having the smoked wreck fish (chenci) in its glass bell. Very good once again, but this time it's the mashed sweet potato that takes me somewhere else. I love all the dishes I have tasted at this restaurant, it is divine. Probably my favorite restaurant in the world!
Vanessa arrives and we have the right to hugs. Then dessert and rum shooter with Canarian honey that Marie-Andrée also tastes. Hoping to still be up at midnight tomorrow night to grab one with Vanessa at the end of her shift. People eat late here.
As I fall asleep, the bilge pump starts working. Let me tell you, it's noisy when there's not much water in the bottom of the hold. Louis had to get up and stop it 3 times, because the automatic float switch stays on after being turned on right when we were about to fall asleep, as if it knew. We realized that one of the water tanks is leaking again. Louis filled them before going to sleep, so we'll see tomorrow where it's leaking. Another task on the list for tomorrow. We should leave the island the day after tomorrow if all goes well to go sailing with Marie-Andrée to another Canary island, we are not sure which yet, maybe anchor in the north of Tenerife or go to La Gomera.
