We have been here in Las Palmas for six days. The days have been full. The World Crusing Club, the sponsors of the ARC, have held seminars on a number of sailing topics such as emergencies, rigging, trade wind sailing and like topics. Tess and I have attended all of them. Trying to soak up all the knowledge and experience around us.

The captain and the cook have been working hard to have the boat ready and stocked. Now we are anticipating the start of the rally. We will sail tomorrow 850 miles to the Cape Verdes island group. We ill be there for 4 or 5 days before continuing to St Lucia across the Atlantic.
