At Anchor At Last

We have left Lanzarote now and are at the northern extremity of Fuerteventura. We have found a lovely anchorage behind Isla de Lobos. This used to be full of seals, lobo marina being the Spanish for seal. Of course, they have been hunted to extinction a long time ago. It is very nice though.

The last ferry of the day came a few minutes ago and took the last of the tourists off just as the last of the other anchored boats upped and offed. Spanish people tend not to spend nights at anchor. So, we now have the place to ourselves. The funniest bit is that as soon as the ferry had departed a group of four men appeared on the quay with their rods. There is not a quay in Spain which doesn't have someone fishing off it!
