Decided to stay on for the Carnival as it is
reputed to be the 2nd best in the world after Rio!! This gave us time to catch
up with family and to have rigging on boat checked before leaving for Gran
Canaria.Chris's mum was on a cruise which set off and returned from Santa
Cruz.The liner was moored within a stones throw from us and Mary was able to see
us from the upper decks.She was able to join us for the day until she had to
catch her flight in the evening.We had a pleasant day strolling around Santa
Cruz, which we have come to know very well.It made a welcome break for us from
boat chores.After a discussion regarding the Cruise it transpired that the Liner
Mary and Dave were on was the very same that we had taken for the millennium for
our trip through the Panama Canal!!

Carnival was worth staying for.Constant partying in
the streets and everyone from young and old takes part in the spirit of
things.We have had a great vantage point from our position in the marina and are
entertained with music and pyrotechnics most evenings.
