0615hrs Sunday 18th November
Marina Rubican, Lanzarote/Las Palmas
We are back on line! Trip down from Dublin took 4.5hrs, we were glad to be off
the plane. After something to eat, a quick beer with Claudia (for the boys!!) and
a short nap we (Oliver and I) cast off from Marina Rubican at 0230hrs this
morning. The distance to Las Palmas
is 98nm’s on a direct routing of 248 degrees magnetic. We experienced
some light traffic off the North West of Fuerteventura but it has been all
quiet since. Sails are up and we were initially flying along with great wind between
the islands. We are now in open water with 70nm’s to run and the wind has
dropped right off. We are slightly concerned about the Amp draw from the
batteries – that said we have the fridge running and the pc is also
charging. We expect to arrive in Las
Palmas around 17:00hrs this afternoon.
Looking forward to sunrise!
