Las Palmas de Gran Canaria

We are now finishing off our jobs list and still planning to leave on Wednesday afternoon to the Cape Verdes, Spanish postal system permitting.

Octavia arrived at the boat this morning at 8:30, explaining that the parts we need to complete our fit out, which in his words should have arrived yesterday, were still in the hands of the postal system. Here we go, best laid plans and all that!

Octavia had contacted them to find out when they would be dropped off at the shop and all being well, they would be with him by one o’clock in the afternoon, Hmmmm, this is highly unlikely as this time is very close to siesta (people vanish and everything stops and I mean everything), but we shall see, maybe this is the equivalent to the cheque is in the post.

So, the plan is still to leave tomorrow afternoon all being well, fingers crossed.

The ARC boats are now arriving thick and fast from countries far and wide, I can see it becoming incredibly busy over the next six weeks. So the decision we had taken previously to cut short our visit to the Island of Las Palma by us was the right one.
