28:11.281N 15:16.525W

Left Lanzarotes, Marina Rubicon (excellent place) after dinner last night and sailed over night to arrive in Las Palmas at around mid day. We are on schedule. Juniper now has a very clean bottom, prop and bowthruster tunnel thanks to the diving exploits of Richard and Pete whilst the ensign is gleaming thanks to Mike ( you'll have to ask him why).

Uneventful trip with still our favourite NW swell but significantly reduced and 10-15kts of wind.

Will post pictures when we get in - in the meantime it is time for the skipper to crack the whip!!!!!!
