41) Lanzarote, Islas Canarias

Marina Rubicon, Playa Blanca, Lanzarote, Islas Canarias 28° 51’ 5” N 013° 49’ 0” W


We worked on things to get ready for a departure and that took most of the day.  While taking on about 200 gallons of diesel it started to rain.  Right at the fuel dock/marina office is a little restaurant and we were tempted for one last tapas and beer.  Since we were Euro poor we decided to have a sandwich onboard instead.  But then, John saved the day!  He said that if we turn in the bathroom key we’d get 5 Euros back.  Mmm, ice cream….

While I was sitting in the cockpit for the hour or so that it took to take on fuel I noticed the dive boat was dragging several floats that are used to raise sunken objects.  I watched them maneuver into the travelift and eventually lift the small wooden boat that sunk in front of the dive shop.
