Land Ahoy - Day 5
|
29:11.278N
013:17.261W It was a very
clear night last night with the moon shining brightly lighting the way for us. When
we were nearing Lanzarote we had dolphins join us. They were swimming alongside
the boat for quite some time leading the way in for us - do they ever sleep! As the sun rose
we spotted land. The wind had picked up and was behind us which enabled us to
sail along gently at 5 knots along the east coast towards Puerto Calero.
Approaching Lanzarote Tony and
Christine from the BWR were on the pontoon to greet us. 4 boats arrived very
close together and with beers being passed around we soon had a pontoon
party. 7 boats were in the marina with the remaining 10 due in tomorrow.
The celebrations continued until the early hours, and we couldn’t help
thinking “blimey.... this was a 5 day sail what will we be like when
we've crossed the Atlantic”!!! Confidentiality: This e-mail and its attachments are intended for the above named only and may be confidential.
