Rain in Lanzarote

I´m glad rain is an event and not a habit here.
The rain dries quickly in the hot sun. So it's possible to do various boat projects: Two thin, mahogony boards are bound to the railings, forward on the deck. They are for the diesel cans that will make for quicker "sailing" through quiet waters over the Atlantic. To tie them on we have established a "reperbahn", a rope factory, in the cockpit. The rather thick, waxed line is twined, doubled, then retwined. So, if the knots are good the boards should stay with us come squall or high water. Now to secure the 20 liter diesel cans,too!

Later we buy new genoa sheets. That´s actually ropes, a word that sailors never use. An extravagent little purchace.
Buying a snorkel mask and tube for me, flippers for us both, just peanuts. But fancy enough, with a valve on the tube.

Tomorrow I get my first snorkel lesson, in the pool.
