Las Palmas

We arrived Las Palmas this morning, after sailing as slow as we could the last hours to avoid coming in in the darkness. We had a nice passage, but the first day we had a big swell that made us sleep most of the day, and our new crew, David, to get seasick. Maybe we forgot to mention him in the last post, but David is danish and is hitch-hiking across the Atlantic. We gave him a lift from Madeira to Gran Canary, and her he will try to find a job before hitch-hiking to the Caribbean and US in November.

We finally caught a fish with our new fishing equipment. When we were preparing dinner the first day, a dorado found the octopus too tempting, and suddenly he ended up in our pan. The fish could not possible be more fresh!

Trond, that has been sailing with us from Muros in Spain, leaves us tomorrow. Next week, Fenny and Kari comes on visit, and at the end of the week, Hans Olav will finally join us.

Not many nordic sailors to see around, probably it is too early. The plan from now is to head for Kap Verde 15th of October, and from there towards Brazil about 1st of November. But plans can change.
