About three hours after the start of ARC 2007 we found that our prop was seriously fouled by a rope that subsequently became entangled with our rudder and profoundly impeded our ability to steer. Given the distance to go we decided to request assistance to return to Gran Canaria. Assistance was provided by the Spanish Lifeboat from Arguineguin who reached us at about 20:00 last night and towed us the 28 miles to the base where we arrived at about 02:00 this morning.

Jamie and i have had a great time, Caroline Byrne Sat, 27 Oct 2007 04:22:09 -0500 http://www.sailblogs.com/member/jigsawofgosport?xjMsgID=39771 http://www.sailblogs.com/member/jigsawofgosport?xjMsgID=39734 Been anchored at Playa Francesca since Sunday, a lovely place but we were subject to rather strong winds that made the anchorage rather uncomfortable to say the least,and landing impossible. We had to run anchor watches on three of the nights that we were there. At times it was a trifle marginal to say the least. Boats were bouncing around with gusto, but thankfully, despite the strongish wind, no swell or waves of any significance got into the anchorage. It was a beautiful location and when the wind did ease, as it did most days for a few hours, the swimming and snorkelling was first class. Wonderfully clear warm blue water, with a reef close by that was teeming with fish of many shapes and colours. Paul.
