So we lifted the anchor in Corralejo at 17.00 and headed out into the inter-island channel with a setting sun and a rising full moon. The winds were gentle and we sailed into the night at 6 or 7 knots, until about midnight when the winds dropped completely and we ended up motoring as did our nine fellow rally cruisers.
The island of Gran Canaria loomed in front of us and then at 09.00 on the 27th October we started our entry to the famous ARC port of Las Palmas. We berthed with the rest of the rally boats on pontoon R. This was a frustrating "squeeze" between other boats and unfortunately resulted in the failure of our propulsion system. We were berthed but incapacitated. More to follow:
