Well the Silver Slipper has landed. We arrived in Las Palmas
on Tuesday 22nd October. After 26 different ports, 2650 miles and over
500 hours at sea we finally made our goal to arrive in Las Palmas ready to
start the ARC. Our crossing from Maderia promised very light winds but to our
delight we sailed most of the way and only used the engine for the last 60
miles on a flat calm sea.
We are now moored up on pontoon I so if anyone is in town
please drop by to say hello.
Over the next four weeks we will be making final
preparations and can’t believe that it’s only a month today that we set sail
again; this time to visit another continent.
Safe sailing and fair winds.
Ian, Wendy & Bumble
