Santa Cruz - Varaderos Anaga
Up early to do the final preparations for anti fouling.
Before starting we had a very good breakfast at a dockside kiosk nearby. The weather forecast yesterday had been for heavy rain today and tomorrow. Last night Tomas consulted a local angler as to the possibility of rain. Tomas likes to speak to the locals and is always asking for directions or information. I remain sceptical as the information gained is more often wrong than right. Anyway, the local assured us that it would not rain today. The air temperature was too cold.
Just after breakfast the heavens opened and it poured. There would be no painting today. We went to La Marina, a local chandlery, to buy some anodes but they didn't have our size. We were, however able to buy 2.5 litres of Jotun Nonstop antifouling paint. This quantity was sufficient when I last did the job.
We planned to try BlancoMar in Santa Cruz for the anodes later in the afternoon. When we got there around 18:30 it was closed.
