Detour Gambia West Africa here we go.

We have decided to return Rogan and Nyah back to their roots with the Monkeys on the Gambia River. Spent the last few days getting Yellow Fever shots, Malaria Pills and getting preparation ready for the 200 mile trip up the Gambia River. Banjul Capital city of Gambia is approx 900 nm from La Gomera, thus not much further than Cape Verde's Island.
No, Gambia doesn't have Pirates. We are also planning to meet a few other boats which all have Families, most have younger kids than us. (Tangaroa, Victory, Mjolner and PJotter) the latter having a native from Fredericton, NB who married her Dutch husband a few years ago. and is now raising their family as they travel around the world. There are also some more Dutch even a lone American and no doubt a few other Nationalities that are already down there.

Forecast is good so we are leaving in a few hours but will try and update our blog through our Sat email system along the way.

Ciao

Olous & Crew ( yes Vicky is still onboard)
