Saturday 22 to Monday 24 December 2012
Puerto de Mogan is the oldest marina in Gran
Canaria and although it is purpose built, it's age at 25 years, means it has
matured naturally and doesn't seem artificial. The narrow walkways
between the buildings with lots of bouganvilla are very attractive and the whole
place has a nice feel to it. There is a nearby beach which is clean and
sheltered. It seems particularly popular ashore with Germans and
Norwegians but the boats in the Marina are mainly Norwegian.
On Saturday we did the usual exploring and found
the local but large Spar supermarket and searched for internet options.
On Sunday evening we went over to Zaurak for drinks
and then out for a meal in town to discuss how we might go about 'buddying'
to Cape Verde islands and across the Atlantic and we went through some of things
we each needed to do beforehand.
Parked next to Ian and Judith's Contest 48CS,
