Today I was up for a sniff ride to Arrecife, the main city on Lanzarote. Obviously its marina was on my route and by chance I saw SY Rare Breed with Biggi and Jan leaving the port. I was aware that their boat was moored in Arrecife for some weeks but not aware they are back from mainland Europe. We have met first time in Brunsbüttel and then again in Aber Wrac’h. As they are now heading West, it was a farewell over the phone but I could catch them on a photo at harbour exit. Wishing them fair winds and following seas…
My first bike trip on Lanzarote took me to Marina Rubicon to give a farewell to the crew of SY Maupiti. Tina, Mia, Tim and skipper Tobias are throwing the lines tomorrow heading to Cape Verde and later to the Caribbean, where they will complete their amazing family adventure. Join me wishing them fair winds and following seas at any time of their journey. We have met first time in Cherbourgh and since then here and there, last time in Funchal. Follow their story under this link, if you like.
Fair winds…
I joined the local riders tonight on a circular time trail (TT) training around the marina. As per Komoot, one circle is around 3.33km. It is flat, no traffic lights, two roundabouts only, moderate traffic movements and only one direction: full throttle!
As you can see on the photos, I got overtaken left and right although my average speed is not that bad?!? The reason is obviously the equipment and I believe I need a new bike! 😉 Lighter, ceramic bearings, racing tyres, more aero in the design, etc.
Fair winds…
