29th November 2021Porto Santo – Lanzarote
After a lovely time on Porto Santo, it is time to move on, there has been a bit of a strange weather pattern creating southerly winds which is uncommon in this area, but now there is a little gap with light northwester-lies turning to Northeaster-lies. It’s about 280nm to Lanzarote. Around two days in these winds. We depart just after lunch and raise all Guppy’s sails, it’s still a little choppy around the islands with some currents and confused waves but once we get well out onto open sea it calms down and we enjoy a very lovely and quiet sail down, Just a few squalls lingering around messing with our wind but also making for beautiful cloud formations and sights while the sun peaks through. As we arrive in Lanzarote the weather has turned and the sun makes place for clouds and rain, a great time to catch up on schoolwork, watch a movie, play games and make music 🙂 Tomorrow we are expecting the sun back and then we’re off to explore the beautiful and very fascinating island of Lanzarote.

Thank you for the update! Kiley’s friends at Hawaii Kai Boat Club and Kaneohe Yacht Club will be following your adventures! Mahalo for sharing!!!
Thanks for your blogs and beautiful pictures. So we can travel with you from our chair in
the Netherlands.
This time you arrived at Lanzarote for the third rime. The first time was ten years ago, the first stop at your world sailing trip. Amazing to explore this island with many vulcanos
Certainly you and your crew will show again this interesting island to the teens.
Have a good time.

Prachtig Laura, vooral de mooie zonsop- en ondergangen zijn de beloningen voor zeevarenden. Schitterend om weer met je te mogen meereizen. Maar ga straks alsjeblieft met een grote boog om LasPalmas heen. Die berg is nog steeds boos. Wel ben ik benieuwd of je daar foto’s van kunt maken. Veel plezier op Lanzrote. Kijk of je nog sporen van Bassie en Adriaan kunt vinden…;-) Al weet ik niet of je crew nu Nederlands is en ze die twee überhaubt wel kennen. Doe voorzichtig, groetjes uit een koud, kil en nat Nederland.
THX for update. – Enjoyed hearing you making music (on Instagram). Guppy in concert, bravo! – Georg
