Finally our first blog is being posted (we hope) - we are in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria having spent the last few days getting the boat ready and provisioned with the aid of our trusty crew, Pete and Geoff, who arrived Christmas Eve and Boxing Day respectively. We have known them both for many years and are really pleased that they are coming with us.  With only a few last minute things to sort such as topping up of fuel and water, we reckon we cannot put off the day for departure any longer so we anticipate tomorrow is D-day!!!!!  Watch out for our next instalment with hopefully some pictures assuming we can get the technology to work for us!!
