We left Graciosa with a light
north easterly breeze and motored along
Estrecho del Rio which is the channel between Graciosa and Lanzarote, as we
rounded the north west
point out came the sails. We had a force
3 from north east so just enough to keep us moving but at a pretty slow 3
knots. Vikki took control.
Or was this more like it!
Lanzarote’s volcanic landscape is
quite spectacular from the sea and is dotted with whitewash developments along the
coastline.
As the hours passed the wind increased to a force 6
we flew along on a relatively flat sea, we hardly touched the sails which was
good for Mark since Vikki read her book and Amanda went for a lie down! Around 35 miles we passed by Playa Carmen
which was a sprawl of hotels and apartments along the coast although it still
looked quite attractive.
Within a mile or so we arrived at Puerto
Calero.
