GRAN CANARIA

We have arrived !! After over 1,500 miles since we set out we are now in Las Palmas.

We arrived in the morning on 10th November. The fleet is arriving. A number of ARC boats are in the large marina.

The wind today is a strong north easterly which is causing some damage in the marina. There are so many yachts here that you can't pick and choose your mooring slot.

We found ourself moored next to a Brighton Marina Yacht Club boat , Intemperance, a Sigma 400 which is also doing the ARC. They sold their house and are world cruising.

The day before we arrived.
