Boats met on passage

Las Palmas is a real crossroads of the Atlantic for cruisers and we seem to have spent all our short time here meeting new people or catching up with people last met hundreds of miles away. Here is a brief list

Pampero of Down - met in Playa Blanca en route across Atlantic
Kika - Entering ARC - another Rival no less
Spirit of Penmar - met first at Playa Blanca probably en route across Atlantic
Moontide - Met first at Rabat en route across Atlantic

In addition we know that others are in the area and hope to catch up with them
Synergie - first met in Portimao
Moonstone of Aberdour - first met in Porto Santo


Others we know are also in the area in including Jen on Paikea and possibly Eva Kullgren on Olina.

We leave for Tenerife later on today so will probably not meet quite so many for a while till we gather in La Palma and elsewhere for the final departure south. Close followers of this will note that we should be half way to Tenerife by now but we decided to delay departure till this afternoon as the weather looks for propitious then. Nothing if not indecisive us!

It all feels quite exciting really.

Here is a picture of the anchorage here as well.
