28:50.81N 13:49.04W Marina Rubicon
We finally left Arecife and Marina Lanzarote with still
some tasks not completed by the yard - well they only had two months to do it -
what did we expect? Past the stone fisherman at the entrance exposed at low
water. They like their sculptures in Lanzarote - perhaps the heritage of
Manrique - their famous artist and architect who saved them from the blight of
high rise blocks in the 80's
It was flat calm - or 'harry flatters' as Great Aunt
June would say - as we motored down to the south of Lanzarote to anchor off
Playa Papagayo - a rather pleasant white sandy beach near the tourist resort of
Playa Blanco. before continuing into Marina Rubicon - finished in 2011 we rather
liked its traditional style of modern low rise buildings consisting of hotel,
apartments' up market shops and a number of good restaurants. We rather liked
the live jazz bar
Whilst we had not particularly like the island of
Lanzarote when we first visited it has grown on us and can see that as long as
you stay away from the very touristy areas it has some very pleasant parts with
some good food and friendly people. We may even come back some day
With that in mind we left at 07:30 for our voyage
towards Gran Tarajal on Fuerteventura hoping or a bit (but not too much) more
wind than yesterday
