My books missed the boat

Literally.

The lorry with 300 copies of my guide book in Spanish “Una espectacular ventana al universo: guía del observatorio astrofisico del Roque de los Muchachos” arrived at Cadiz docks on Saturday 9th March, shortly after the boat to Tenerife left. And they sat on the docks waiting for the next boat until Thursday.

So they didn’t make it in time for comet watching on the night of Saturday 16th, but then the comet watching was cancelled for bad weather anyway.

The books should arrive some time next week.
