Meli woke up this morning wanting to use the wet weather gear. Such a gem, so we set off in 25knots of breeze to sail from Tenerife to Gran Canaria today. Magic sail reaching all the way in a southerly. That's my Girl!!! Meli se levantó esta mañana con ganas usar su equipo de lluvia en el velero. Y para el reto, no hubo nada major que navegar a 25 nudos de brisa desde Tenerife hasta Gran Canaria hoy. Esa es mi chica! #sailingintheatlantic #arc2016 #fourthdimensionIV #thekangaroodiary (at Atlantic Ocean)
We spent 18 hours sailing to Tenerife Island and we arrived just on time to enjoy this wonderful sunrise with a couple of Pilot Whales on the side of the #fourthdimensionIV Navegamos por 18 horas hacia Tenerife y llegamos justo a tiempo para disfrutar este hermoso amanecer en compañía de una familia de ballenas Piloto ♡. #arc2016 #sailingintheatlantic #tenerife #thekangaroodiary (at Tenerife Canarias)
There is no better place to know someone than a sailing boat. The confidence, trust, patience, team work and understanding are some of the values that you need to have if you want to achieve a successful journey. No hay mejor lugar para conocer a alguien que un velero. La confianza, paciencia, el respeto, la disciplina y el trabajo en equipo son solo algunos de los valores que hay que tener para un viaje exitoso y placentero. #sailingintheatlantic #fourthdimensionIV #arc2016 #thekangaroodiary #islascanarias #isladelobos (at Isla de Lobos)
Bye bye Lanzarote..we head off to our destination at Gran Canaria Island, where we will start the Rally to cross the Atlantic Ocean, but first we are stopping today at Isla De Lobos (Island of the wolves") and tomorrow at Tenerife Island. #arc2016 #fourthdimensionIV #sailiintheatlantic Adiós Lanzarote..estamos partiendo hacia el punto de inicio para el cruce trasatlántico hacia el caribe, en la Isla Gran Canaria. Pero antes, haremos una parada en la Isla de Lobos hoy, y mañana en la Isla de Tenerife. (at Atlantic Ocean)
Steering is an art that I'm beginning to learn. You have to feel the water and go with the breeze until you become one with the elements. As my mother in law (Helen) tells me, we (women) have an special feeling to read the sea. Timonear un barco es un arte que apenas estoy aprendiendo. Tienes que sentir la marea e ir con el viento hasta ser uno con los elementos. Y como dice mi suegra (Helen), las mujeres tenemos un sentido especial para sentir el mar. #sailiintheatlantic #arc2016 #fourthdimensionIV (at Atlantic Ocean)
