Welcome to our sail blog. We are a Norwegian married/retired couple making our dream come true on this 2 year long sail voyage. We would like to share our experiences with you and will try to update this blog as often as possible.

Gran Tarajal to Marina Rubicon
We are "still alive"..
We left Gran Tarajal and sailed up to the small marina in Caleta del Fuste,
also named Puerto Castillo.
We had a great mooring, longside at the end of the pontoon.
Nice warm clean seawater and we could have a swim from the aft end the boat.
It is a very touristic area with mostly people from the UK. And at least 2 norwegians.
We really enjoyed the local restaurants which had great food.
We continued after a few days to Marina Rubicon at Playa Blanca at the Island of Lanzarote.
We are having a longer stay in here preparing for our next voyage which will be
from the Canary islands to Cape Verde and accross the Atlantic to NE Brazil.
Our plan is to depart 2nd half of January after the boat has been out of the water to be cleaned and
given new antifouling. Travel/health insurance and insurance for the boat became an issue, but we managed to get that sorted out for an acceptable price.
Charts and satellite comms are on order. Provisions, water, cooking gas and fuel will be
purchased when calling at Las Palmas prior to the depature.
After Las Palmas we are visiting Puerto Rico - to meet friends for dinner. Next day we cross fingers for fair winds and great conditions for our departure.
