Leaving
Has been hectic here on Gran Canaria: We hired a car on Monday & drove toLas Palmas where we bought a new stern light with LED bulb (shld solve our power worries) and a new autopilot. We then stopped in Carrefour for provisions.
I don't know how but we found room for all our provisions on board. The boat is floating quite low in the water though!
Tues & Wednesday were spend fitting the stern light and the autopilot. All went well except I need a 12A fuse for the autopilot & they appear to be like rocking horse poo here! Never mind, we shall have to go without the fuse.
And it lloks like we will go tomorrow. About 850 miles to the Cape Verdes! At least it shld be warmer - it's getting cold here. Sometimes I even have to put a jumper on, so it must be time to head South!!

Glad you're on the way - hope you enjoy it! Maybe we'll get together again one day - but it'll be on this side of the pond I suspect!
Anyway, good luck to you both and Happy Christmas
