LaGmra Day 2 - Dry Docks 25 Nov, 06 - 20.43

It’s been a long day. The better part of the morning was spent
scrubbing the hull and removing the stickers that have faded
due to exposure to the sun. The rest of the day as spent
prioritizing the equipment to be taken.
The gas cooker and canisters have suffered from salt corrosion since April and will have to be replaced. The original gas cooker was custom built, fitted on a gimbal to enable it to stay horizontal regardless of which way the boat rolled.
Finding a replacement in time will be a problem.
Kennith Crutchlow and Tatiana Rezvoy are due to arrive with the Argos beacons on Wednesday and we should be good to go by Friday.
Looking forward to leaving,
thats all for now,

3. Fred Olsen Ferry across to La Gomera. It claims to be the
fastest ferry in the world, with massive 20,000 Horse Power
diesel engines. I assume this is the closest you get to a sense of urgency in the Canary Islands.
