We left Porto Santo on Saturday 12th October just before midday after giving up on the invisible fuel lorry! Very light NE wind so relaxed on deck in the sunshine. Spent the evening with a G&T watching the sun set – a perfect evening at sea.

The wind was still light on Sunday so we enjoyed scrambled eggs and bacon etc for breakfast before hoisting the cruising chute which stayed up until the evening.

During Monday the wind began to build finally reaching a southerly 22.3 knots in the evening with roller-coaster waves to match! Quite tricky to steer and avoid gybing (but there were a few!), land was in sight.

We entered Las Palmas at 5am on Tuesday morning not having slept very much but pleased to have arrived.

Christopher and I have returned home for a week or two leaving Shenanigan and Brian in glorious sunshine with a list of jobs!
