Just an update of where we're at. We were home 26/10 to 16/11, had a hectic time trying to catch up with everyone, but we got around to most. We had Aragorn tucked up in "Darsena Pesquera" (Fishermans harbour) just outside Tenerife's capital, Santa Cruz. Came back & got ourselves reprovisioned and organised. We wanted to go to Las Palmas in Gran Canaria, but waited for the ARC (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers) to leave before coming, or as someone cruelly put it, waited for the sheep to leave the pen!!
We are now in Las Palmas, which apparently has the most "comfortable" anchorage in the Canaries, inverted commas because we've had a light southerly breeze the last couple of days & are rolling in the resultant swell. The trip over was a motorsail into wind, but with the wind 30 degrees off the nose it wasn't too uncomfortable, and we did get some value from it.
We have signed up for Spanish lessons while we are here and we are "ablo"ing away. Has us in school for 9 am every day, so no more lazy breakfasts, and the To Do list is grinding to a halt. And we are not planning any more trips this side of new year.
We're home again for Xmas on 19/12 to 5/1. Plan to be in D&Ns for pints on 24th if anyone interested.
Hasta luego!
