Hi everybody from a warm and sticky Las Palmas. We (Rob, Steve
and Alisatair) brought the boat down from Lanzerote overnight and have
just arrived and negotiated Canarian and ARC Bureaucracy. The winds
were all over the place but very light. We jibed and tacked several
times at low speed until deciding that the engine would be much easier
and allow more sleep.

We're now settled at the end of one of the pontoons with a grandstand
view of the mooring antics in the marina. A week to go until the start
and we need to schedule all the shopping , faffing and jollification.
The costume party is on Wednesday evening, so that might be a good time
to scrub the decks.
