A
short sail today of about 13 Nm has now located us at a place called Gran
Tarajal. Confusion over the name had everyone on board thinking that we could
go out for a curry here as it sounded like a place called 'Taj Mahal'. How
wrong could we all be? This town is relatively quiet, and free from tourism. It
appears to be quite traditional, although there is some evidence of apartments
being built at the southern end, so it has not entirely escaped the tourism
trend so evident elsewhere on our travels. We saw a large shark swimming along
today, but not much else in the way of marine life, or indeed any other life.
There are very few other yachts around and we and we certainly feel as if we
have the island to ourselves. I am certain this will all change once we get to
Gran Canaria in a few days time.
