Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

Today was forecast to be quite string winds and this morning it did pick up a bit on our very sheltered anchorage. We decided to spend the day on the boat and have mostly been on the internet, reading and a bit of sunbathing on the trampoline.
It’s been an absolute hive of activity in the anchorage I counted 26 boats anchored earlier and there has been peddlelows, kayaks, dinghies, windsurfers, local power boats, local yachts and new cruisers arriving throughout the day. It’s been better than watching the television with all this going on around us all day, we seem to be a bit of a rarity in a catamaran here (and especially a Mahe), so everyone seems to come to have a look.
The cloud cover has lifted for once and it’s been great to catch a bit of sun, read a book and do a bit of free internet surfing. Colin & Carol who we met in Gran Tarajal turned up this morning after presumably an overnight trip, so we may pop over to see them later. Otherwise, it’s fish curry and a few games of gin rummy tonight.

Hi Jo, Kev

Sorry not been in touch since we left Lanzarote, but I have been keeping track of the blog!

Just to say again that it was brilliant seeing you both and being on Invincible with you. Jo, I know that it’ll cheer you up to know that I’m currently sat in the Leeds office “Vantage”, having a quick sandwich whilst catching up on your adventures. Now let me think, where would you rather be…………..??

Hi Angelo,

Sorry, don't envy you Vantage at all! Thanks for the comment, it was great to see you both and hope you are keeping well.

You'll see on the latest blog update we are heading to see a Procession in Puerto Mogan just as you described in Scilly, we're looking forward to it.

Keep in touch
