28:09N 15:25W Finally arrived at Las Palmas Marina, Gran Canaria after 750NM and six days/five nights at sea which is another milestone. We have had some of the best sailing winds ever. Hopefully this will be what we will get going across the pond! Fingers crossed. Lots of ARC Rally flags around but so far haven't managed to meet anyone going to the Caribbean.. At the moment Sonsy Lass has been lifted out of the water to have her bottomed cleaned and painted plus having some 'battle scars' rubbed down. The crew are ensconced in a hotel as the yard ran out of ladders! Well that's our excuse. But boy it is so good to be able to be on stable ground, run the shower without worrying about running out of water and to put as much toilet roll down the loo without the fear of blockage. Life is such a bitch!!!
