Nomad 2025

Tuesday 9th December.  Oh dear! The marina is full, I have to stay outside on the anchor until a space comes free which the man said could be a month or two. I think he's scaremongering but I suppose he has to give me the worst case. He showed me the list of twelve boats in the queue ahead of me. Very strong winds are expected at the weekend, if Nomad survives that without the anchor dragging then I would feel confident leaving the boat anchored over Christmas. I'll have to read up on anchoring.

No wind. I'm sitting right on top of the anchor in 5 metres of crystal clear water.

Pasito Blanco marina. Back on the boat and looking forward to moving on, this place is as quiet as a graveyard. There is one restaurant, no shops or bars. However, I have to wait until Sunday at least for the wind to change and allow me to move on up the coast to Las Palmas. This is up the road. Apparently Gran Canaria has very clear skies, good for star gazing and these were used for tracking early Apollo missions.
