Our first destination at the Canary islands was ment to be the Island of Graciosa. The island is located to the north of Lazarote and has a very nice anchorage on the south side. Again Richardo "came to our rescue" telling us we need to have a permisson to anchor there and that you needed minimum 10 days of handling time. So Graciosa was "out" for our part this time. We might try to go back up there later.
We then tried to book berths in alternative marinas, but they were all full. We phoned Marina Rubicon located in south Lanzarote. Initiately they were full. We said that was too bad, as we had been there before and would love to come back. Well, a few hours later we had an email saying we were welcome to come and stay for a week.
We left QuitaDoLorde just before noon 22nd October for 280nm sail to Lanzarote. We had a good berth from ENE mostly 15-20 knots. Waveheight from 1.5 to 3 meters into our port side. We motorsailed with reefed sails and the electronic autopilot during the night in order toa get some sleep and using more sails and the Hydrovane during daytime.
Being one day early we anchored at Playa Mujeres in the afternoon the 24th, just east of Marina Rubicon. It was a very nice anchorage that we want to return to after a week at the marina.
We had a great welcome in Rubicon and were directed to a good berth at the L-Pontoon. We might have to switch to another one in a few days as this one is mainly used for catamarans.
