Sol Lanzarote Aparthotel Puerto Del Carmen

... easily. This means we did an average of about 5.2 knots, though there were times when we went a lot slower but also times when we went a LOT faster. Now I know that Sharkita is a relatively old cruising boat weighed down by all Si’s engineering tools as well as enough food for a good 3 months but I do wonder if Sharkita knows this? Underneath her solid slow ketch rig l am sure lurks the heart of an Open Ocean 60 racer – well that’s what it felt like as the log/speedo ...

... lovely community.

Martin and Doreen joined us for a sail aboard Tethys and a swim off Papagayo beach. Then we had a lunch aboard before returning to the marina just before the sun set! A lovely day.

Check out the pictures!

We had a great time.

On the Sunday we were all invited up to Jose and Tatianas hotel in Yaiza for a ...

... cut through the water. Hopefully when we actually cross the Atlantic I will be able to appreciate these things properly after the sickness has passed (fingers and everything else crossed).

Nic did amazingly well and stayed up on deck all night with Paul as everyone else was too sick to do their watches.As bad as it was it suprisingly didn´t ever cross my mind that I would pull out of the trip, so hopefully I will get through it and ...

Arrived at Playa Blanca after a twenty minute ride from the airport at about 9.30. Atlantic Garden Bungalows were very nice and peaceful right on the shore and clean and lovely.

What a nice time we had, reading, walking along the promenade which stretches right from the Lighthouse in the SW, to the Marina Rubicon, just short of Papagayo Beach. Lovely.

The heat was ...

Mercury Rising left Puerto Calero and many good nights behind, on 17th November. We set sail for the Atlantic crossing after a final farewell with family and friends. That morning, we joined Jackame and left Lanzarote with favorable weather ...

This was the tour I had been looking forward to most. A trip to Fire Mountain and look at some real volcanoes complete with Lava flows, caldera's, and collapsed lava tunnels. In addition we also went to the coast and saw how the sea interacts with lava recently (1736), deposited extending the ...

CORRALEJO CENTRE AND BEACHES



Corralejo is a beautiful port in the north of Fuerteventura, and especially the area around the harbour where there are many restaurants and nice sandy beaches.

From the port here one can have access to Los Lobos Island which is very near, and Lanzarotte ...

A STROLL IN THE CITY AND THE CENTRAL BEACHES



There are clouds in the sky today, and I don't feel like going swimming.

It is a day of taking photos!

The stroll is great because there is a sea breeze that makes my walk pleasant.

... We had a green ribbon round our wrist which was the sign of –all inclusive. I could see people eating without a ribbon though!



I was curious to see the kind of quality the hotel would have, as well as the quantity. I was surprised indeed!

It included everything for everyone's taste.

There was fish and meat, pizza, different fruit, desserts, ice cream, -- anything a person ...

POLSKI: No to kurs w strone AFRYKI. Mimo, iz Wyspy Kanaryjskie leza blizej Afryki, niz Europy, wciaz naleza do Hiszpanii. To byla moja pierwsza wizyta w tej czesci globu. Miasto jest oddalone od portu 5 km, wiec skorzystalam z podstawionych dla nas autobusow. Bylo cieplo i przyjemnie, ale nie zachwycajaco. Chlopcy z teamu, ktorzy pojechali na wycieczke dop wulkanow, byli urzeczeni. Samo ...
