Noon position 28 47N, 13 55W. Approximately two miles off the north coast of Fuertaventura. We have had a a pleasant and memorable stay in Marina Rubicon, and been there longer than we wanted in the hope that the winds would pick up, but we are meeting our first visitor tomorrow in Tenerife and so we have the prospect of thirty hours with the engine on to get there, unless the winds materialise.

We have started walking and snorkeling, and using the dinghy for some long distance rowing exercise as well as enjoying the fine weather. We have booked the boat into the boatyard at Marina Rubicon on the 4th November for some repairs before we depart the Canaries for the Cape Verde islands.
