Started already at 0800 and are sailing slowly through a calm sea. A long and low Atlantic swell rolls gently from NE. Autopilot keeps course very stable. I keep watch, one is reading and one is sleeping. Very relaxed day at sea.

Got plenty of mails written without being disturbed by the internet and incoming mails.
A day without internet is a very relaxed time.

We are swinging in the swell, which runs around the corner of the norther end of the bay.
Anchor ground is very good.

Just decided to stay a day in the bay. Good anchorage no mobile phone network. We relax and I do some work without internet.

.. brought us finally some wind and MaRe started running.beautiful late afternoon sky.

After a few days in the marina, during which we got the gennaker repaired, we are out again. Wind of 3 – 4 Bft straight on our nose. In about 1 – 2 NM change heading to W and sail to Tenerife.

The unusual track just outside of Las Palmas is due to a daysail we did. 3 upwind tacks and a final comfortable downwind run into the harbor entrance.
It was the final day on board of MaRe for friends who sailed with us for a week.

On Monday I get my gennaker repaired. Thus we will start sailing on Tuesday. Could become an interesting route

AWA 60 – 80 deg STB
We sail mostly above 9 KN STW
Top speed observed: 10.4 KN
Las Palmas ETA 1500

However last night we had 25 KN at anchor. Extended chain from 50 m to 80 m at 9 m water

…fortunately wrong¡

We expected a day using the engines but since more than an hours we are sailing 4 – 5 Bft TWS from 150 deg PRT only with the genoa along the Costa de Calma. Please wind keep going.

Today we sailed at slow speed about 4 NM.

Where is the wind of the Canary Islands? The 5 and 6 Bft winds?

Hope we get it when sailing from Fuerte Ventura to Gran Canaria.
