LinoCat

Hi, here are some first impressions from Las Palmas. It is a fairly big city and the beach is also the anchorage and currently crowdy. Some huge cruiseships are here right now and the marina is huge and also very busy before the ARC Rallye starts. I just found out that email-to-blog does not allow attachments, so while out on the atlantic without cell coverage we can add text to the blog but no pictures. The weather here is a bit more cloudy and a lot colder with temperatures around 27 during day.

s thWe arrived at 15.00 the 5th of November in Las Palmas and directly went into the Vuela Latina, a baisin south of the normal marina basin. This is the place where all the catamarans for the ARC will be placed. The marina has a lunch siesta from 14 to 1600 and do not answer the radio. At 16.00 we registered and hooked LinoCat to water and electricity. There are huge catamarans here right now and so we look like a dwarf. Lani enjoyed smelling flowers and wanted to rip them out right away.
