Gran Tarajal 11th March
 Still waiting for weather to improve so that we can
get on our way to Graciosa.Harbour master informed us that he had been sent an
urgent "weather phenomenon" stating that the coastal waters were experiencing
very large seas, waves up to 4 metres+.We have no choice but to wait it out
here, but the area is quite pleasant despite a very dry rugged landscape.Decided
to take the local bus further north to the capital ,Rosario, to see
what the harbour looks like there in case we need to use it as a bolt
hole!
Not much there, very quiet.There use to be a
foreign legion post there a couple of years ago but it is now used to
accommodate illegal immigrants, of which there are many!
We returned to our boat after a couple of hours as
we were a bit worried about the tides and are warps as we are constantly having
to alter them due to the overhang on the harbour wall and then it was off to the
cultural centre to check the weather, are evenings seem to be spent on the
internet getting the most recent weather forecasts.
Did a final stocking up of food etc ready for the
off at a moments notice!!
 Had a very nice supper on our neighbours boat an
Island Packet "Touche", they are heading in the same direction as
us.
