We are enjoying lunch on a sunny day out here south
of Gran Canaria. Our first 24 hours accomplished after an exciting start
yesterday. I expect there will be lots of pics on the arc
website.
We realised we may be getting too close to Africa
when a menacing looking motor boat bore down us with lots of guys with black eye
patches, wooden legs and bg cutlasses. William and Ivo, your daddies were
very brave, shouting Ra Ra....lets do it...team team.. etc... The
speeding boat turned and sped away clearly very frightened.
Winds have been fairly constant NE about 15
knots.
Later this afternoon we had some more
visitors. there were about ten of them with two babies and smiley
faces. They stayed and played for about 15 minutes. I wonder if
William and Ivo's class can get who they were.. Tell you tomorrow.
Will try to ask questions during our trip so keep a record of your answers and
there will be a prize for the one who gets the most correct answers.
Any one under 11 can join in.
We are expecting the winds to lighten over the next few days. We are
not sure were we are in the fleet at the moment, perhaps you could look on the
ARC website for us in class and let us know We think we are near the back
with a bath tub behind us. It is tactics you see...the hare and the
tortoise...
Blog again tomorrow.
