Second time I was invited to join a get-together on SY Hexe – Cornelia and Volker‘s way to start the weekend. Their hospitality and support is so generous, leaving memorable evenings with good discussions, exchange, laughter and new friendships before falling asleep. Thank you!
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…
This is the final logblog on this passage as we will have GSM coverage soon. Landfall was interesting with two fishing boats only and a clear identification of the lighthouse signals. The sun is out and we are heading South along the coastline of Lanzarote. The wind is pushing us with 9 to 15kts true wind speed depending on its own convenience at the actual moment. Therefore the boat speed varies between 4 and 6kts with a slight current in our favour. It will take another 6-8 hours depending on the wind until we reach Puerto Calero in the afternoon hours. It is time for a proper cup of tea and a decent breakfast with some opulent omlett. I am looking forward to our arrival.
Fair winds…
