189nm sailed in 34 hours. Our passage plan said 225 so we had
36 miles for free thanks to the current! What a fantastic passage and what
fun to find Ocean Rainbow taking everything in her stride. We are
now in Arrecife in a new marina with building works all around us but it’s a
good place to shelter from the winds that are predicted for the next two days –
and it’s good value! We have also benefited as the immigration and
customs control are in Arrecife so we don’t have to take an expensive taxi
ride. Apparently the officials monitor all boats coming from
Africa! Can’t think why!!! |
