ARC Bar, Las Palmas
Here we
go....the ARC Early Arrivals Cocktail Party. Although 'official' events don't
start until next week, we heard a rumour that there were a number of parties
planned for early arrivals. Since they all appeared to be included in the cost,
we thought we had better not miss any! The ARC happy hour last night was a
great start to the festivities and gave us a chance to meet up with other crews
who had also arrived early, and once over, we all moved over to The Sailors'
Bar across the road, where we stayed for an excessive amount of time (led astray
by a Norwegian friend of ours called Morten), and subsequently we have all been
feeling exceptionally shabby this morning and afternoon due to our own complete
lack of self control! The sail to Las Palmas from Fuerta Ventura was quite
bouncy and we are now making the most of flat ground before our near month at
sea getting to the Caribbean. We have completed all of our admin with the ARC
now and are waiting for our formal safety inspection in a couple of days time.
We still have a large amount of work today here, so the blog will no doubt be
dead for a few days!
