And again fish! ...Yes..if there were no such a crazy winds here this winter, probably we would start sailing like crazy up and down Lanzarote- Graciosa just for catching these fishes! In all 3000 nm from Lithuania till Canary Islands we didn’t catch as much as we are doing here:) But as the weather here even if its warm, is so soooooo unstable, winds blow with all their power and mostly from north. Once you are back to Arrecife you should plan very carefully till you can sail back north. This time while sailing we had a calm day, but in the evening wind shifted to southeast and when we were already tied along the pontoon in Graciosa, it start blowing a lot and in the early morning there were more than 50 knots in the gust! Crazy! And In Lanzarote we had a really nice time. The new Lanzarote Marina is great, lots of space, safe pontoons, protected from all winds, new spacious showers( verrrry important ) , friendly people in the office and beautiful views. Really a good place to leave the boat for a long time ( marina makes a good discount for long staying). We are thinking to leave our Grain in summer here as well (summer season we will spend working on other boats away....) PICS OF LANZAROTE.....But now we are back again to Graciosa. And we feel like we are back at home:) Everything so known, locals smiling to see us back and Kataryte happy to visit boats around and watch the birds and fishes right from pontoons. Now we are here with Egoi parents who came to visit us, so again we.ll make those beautiful long walks and climb all volcanoes for sure:)
In some days we will sail back to Lanzarote from where parents will take a flight back to Basque country and we will wait another guest coming. This boat is always full of people:)
