6:30 p.m. we are going to leave
Gibraltar tonight and go to Mohammed
yeah we're leaving at 5 hours after high
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
