tide and hope to get some supporting

currents to pass the button or the tip

of Spain

wind can be tricky but it isn't the only

variable when passing Gibraltar

the underwater topography plays a

fundamental influence on current and

waves

[Music]

living triple time

very good another way he's dying

activity on board meant no video of our

boat speed record no other waves that's

bite but we won't bite the fish the fish

cutters and a line of shrimpers only

Louie is no answer on VHF

we had a bit of win to this we flew the

generator the code zero and now we are

back to knowing and we should come back

during the night in the morning it's

gonna be arraigned will be touchy

you know so what we have here we have

our first comma I would say good

oh then merrylegs and in desert vinegar

garlic nice spicy

pre-cooking before we process it for a

marinated caramel recipe when offshore

there's always a bit of curiosity when

seeing a boat coming out of nowhere so

we write things in our logbook and to

our surprise we will meet in the narrate

crew a couple of months later and become

friends in a marina

vinegar pepper is what has made of

grapes as well I say

some time engine I think you put in

Jeremy right now that's my teacher

I went from secretly you haha

it's the Rosie

which we punish the taste during the

transatlantic I see is going to be there

are 20 miles left to the marina of we're

to Cairo where we will put the boat for

a couple of days and fix our water maker

machine boys the fishing nets you see

the volcanoes it's thousands of

volcanoes did you expect so many tokens

[Music]

will tide alongside and I'll do the

maneuver tale will not do it and control

we just do the tyre get to it

[Laughter]

[Music]

immediately upon arrival we extract the

water make all the connections cables

and hoses have been identified

of course the task is complicated

because he went to put my feet we leave

the water maker hydraulic block in the

hands of the local technician approved

by the supplier of the water maker

meanwhile we go explore the island that

tends to be beautiful if you like the

lawn but I discovered Lanzarote this

time and I find it beautiful

while that's so developed pristine is

fantastic it is a bit of a lunar

landscape too and if you really like

lush green sceneries we may look fast on

this one

so watermelon because of the leaf and

the color of the fruit step of eggplant

look at the seat we could take something

from them wild watermelon so far until

further check we're taking the science

class

we found some lava rocks we're breaking

them to see inside the little bubbles

and we found some axes so inside you

have the dust of the time of the cooking

baking recipes are answers from the

volcano with the natural erosion these

rocks turn into gravels that are very

supportive of growing the malvasia crepe

[Music]

I'll show you a sample of the crust

after much shopping it's time to go back

to the boat and ready our departure but

a bad surprise is waiting for us

[Music]

[Music]

the wind is 15 to 18 knots

the waves are we're in the race

but we put three recent events L and we

actually were in their comfort and

safety right what about you Brown what

do you take oh it's great

love's wrote a in the background about

some I'll see in front of us

well beginning to fast traffic mentor up

and our son is here

was telling me during the night that I

did not sleep at all it was difficult

about the night waves situation last

night and we were hearing house

in 24

in the waves that were probably three

meters maybe four and yeah we got waves

splashing on oh now we're running with

the wind surfing

so we are rerouting to Gran Canaria and

we see what we do there the weather

system is going to last at least five or

six days here which means down the road

maybe

that's singing

get ready your captain good call

sailors quote in the region says it

comes from the east it is no good for a

man norm the beasts even though the wing

did not pass 30 knots we didn't want to

wear off the boat now running downwind

we enjoy the energy of the waves with a

lot less stress on the boat and we

admire the beauty of this

so that's Cape Leone - the captain

offered us to pass on our Stern we are

in a navigation channel we are carrying

it and they were getting down so it was

very nice to offer this as we are

progressing towards Las Palmas starboard

far about 20 million miles we should be

there around

as Palmas gran canaria harbour we can

see the easterly winds of history

wieners brought sand in the air because

it's like fog we are less than five

miles of the shore and there is this

yellowish haze that prevents see details

of ghosts until we get very close upon

arrival we drop anchor in the Anchorage

of the harbor

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

the south easterly wind is expected to

last another 10 days as this is not

compatible to the schedule of around he

and his father decided to fly back to

the US it is with sadness that will see

them leaving

they have coped with the unexpected and

in fantastic crow see you in the future

[Music]

meanwhile we are planning some out work

and decide to stay here in the Gran

Canaria to use it as a base and explore

the Canary Islands later in the year
