Atlantic Crossing 2018 - Our safety is more important!

Our Atlantic Crossing now takes us from Lanzarote to the beautiful island of Gran Canaria which is to be the final stop before heading to Barbados. With no passage plan and very little care for when we arrive our thoughts are becoming increasingly troubled. I calculate that with a 96nm passage we will arrive in the early hours and in total darkness. For me this is worrying, not only because Las Palmas is a very busy shipping port, but because our Skippers abilities when manoeuvring the boat are questionable in daylight, let alone attempting to dock in the dark. We do safely pick out way through the cargo traffic and we do manage to moor alongside the reception pontoon with little effort, but I was holding my breath on numerous occasions, just waiting for something to go wrong. Las Palmas is a great place, and we are lucky enough to see the 2018 Gran Canaria marathon, with all the razzmatazz you would expect, with street bands, dancing and performing artists. Our enjoyment here is overshadowed though by our increasing anxiety towards the way the boat is being run, and sometime soon we have to ask ourselves ‘ can we trust these people to carry us safely over this huge expanse of water to arrive in one piece on the other side?
