leaving my sorry looking Dehler 36 behind for a couple of weeks I jumped on a plane and headed for Gran Canaria.
Along with Skipper Des and crew mate Keith we had ten days to move a Hanse 371 from the canaries to Portugal, as far north as possible in the time we had.
it went something like this:
 |
The taxi along sheer drops around the island |



 |
skip eats a mini monty from the pan |

 |
arriving at porto santo |
 |
Keiths favourite spot off-watch |
 |
The Jayne-burka - factor 200 sunscreen |
 |
The yellow wagtail thought this may be an unusually large mate in equally fetching yellow |
 |
Skip pulled some exotic bird. She was found face down in the oranges next morning, sent off to Davy Jones locker |
 |
the daily dose of Dolphin |
 |
Night watch |
 |
watching the sun go down |
 |
and then watching the sun come up again on the other side |
 |
I suppose I better look like I can steer this thing since we've done 1000 miles already |
 |
The rain, obligatory on every trip |
 |
The route we took, in 3 legs, 3 days, 4 days and then 1.5 days |
These are stills from the video I am making. Watch this space.
