Puerto caleros

We have been in lanzarote of a couple of days now. It's nice sat in the marina here but there isn't anything outside of so we have hired a car for today to explore and get to the supermarket.  The sail here was about as mixed as you can get. The straights of Gibraltar gave us 40kts of wind where we did 14.5 kts heavily reefed, the wind dropped a bit but continued to blow then turned to very variable strength but we were still making good progress.  Off the coast of morocco we kept encountering numerous fishing buoys and approximately 20ft small fishing boats quite often with one small outboard motor up to 50 miles offshore in heavy swell and squally weather. We also encountered a hail storm where the stones were as big as the end of my thumb. The only real drama I have seen since is two boats in the marina not giving any consideration and having a collision which could have been avoided with ease. Will be in las palmas in a few days to prepare for the start of the ARC
