George - Progress towards Gran Canaria

Hello from George, We are making good progress towards the Canaries and hope to be parked up in Las Palmas sometime on Saturday. Wind eventually kicked in from the NW and ranges from 7 knots to 16. In the latter we can easily do 8 knots and in the former we are very slow. Weather good and sea conditions quite kind. Sextant and fishing gear have been deployed a few times already. Changing the subject, how many songs did Abba record I hear you ask? 80 is the answer. How do I know this, because Tim made us listen to them all yesterday....four and a half hours is the answer to the next question you are asking yourselves. See you in the Canaries.
