I must say I didn’t really enjoy Las Palmas. Moved into the marina- took over 2 hours waiting, queuing and doing the paperwork. Then I was put in an annexe to the main marina which wasn’t very good, open to swell so suffered from surge. My first experience of bow too mooring as well, makes getting off and on the boat awkward.
Las Palmas itself so big so busy and just full of traffic and I din’t find it very interesting.
Big storm day after I moved into the marina and the weather for my stay wasn’t too good at all.
Still new crew taken on, an Austrian lady who has yachtmasters, a few jobs done on boat and restock of provisions.
