Lost whale

When we returned to the harbour a few days ago we where met by one of the guys working at the marina. With great enthusiasm he tried to explain that something "bastante" had entered the harbour. Apperantely some kind of large fish was now swimming around in the harbour. We got curious but didn't se anyting. After an hour or two a small rib towing something passed by our boat. Four five people where holding something in place and we saw a tail-fin sticking out of the water. The large fish had been captured and was no fish really but a whale. A truck with a crane lifted the whale and drowe off to some unknown location. The whale had been lured into the harbour by a school of tasty fish and failed to find its way out. While swimming around in the harbour the whale had hurt itself pretty bad on propellers, chains and other sharp objects. The next day we sadly read in the paper that the whale had died.

Jag hittade ett tidningsurklipp igår! Andreas Granberg på 1:a plats med optimistjolle i Gripsholmsviken, men nu är det större vatten som gäller och även större fiskar och djur. Kramar :-) Mamma

Om jag minns mina spanskalektioner rätt så betyder "bastante" ungefär ganska. Jag tyckte alltid att det lät konstigt.

Men det kanske inte ens var spanska som gällde i sagda hamn?

Nu har de äääääääääääääntligen lämnat hamnen i Las Palmas och är på väg söder ut mot passadvindarna. Nu håller jag och Karin tummarna att de är framme på Isla Margarita till den 4e jan då vi kommer dit :-) Lycka till pojkar!!! Puss till Andreas o Kram till Jens

Guys - I did a solo circuit of the north Atlantic from the UK earlier this year via the Canaries and the Caribbean in an Achilles 24. I am intersted in your self steering gear which may struggle with the waves if the mainsail is providing drive. You might find 2 headsails easier for the steering gear giving you a chance to rest. If I am wrong, who cares? You will have a blast. Enjoy yourselves. William
