Today (Thursday 18th November) we are posting a realtime update to let you know that we are about to set off on Leg 2 of the ARC+ Rally. This is organised by the World Cruising Club and, this year, takes 77 boats of different shapes and sizes from Las Palmas (Gran Canaria) to Mindelo (Cape Verde) and then onto Port Louis Marina in Grenada.
Tomorrow (Friday 19th November) we leave Mindelo to head for Grenada: a journey of about 2200nm which will take us around 16-18 days!
More information (and photographs) can be found on their website or on Facebook (ARC Atlantic Rally for Cruisers).
While we are on the rally, you can track us (and the other boats in the fleet) using YB Tracker. Follow the link below and select ARC Plus 2021.
