The day in Las Palmas was quite a busy day.
Passengers from our last European cruise left the ship during the morning
hours. The new incoming guests for the Transatlantic Voyage had their check-in
in the afternoon. The pier was busy with
huge trucks bringing food and lots of other stuff we will need during the next
weeks before we reach Buenos Aires. A small tank ship was going alongside FRAM
as we had to bunker the fuel for our trip over the Atlantic. It needed quite a
while until our tanks were really filled up with the so called “marine gasoil”.
Just before we left the harbor all passengers had to participate in the mandatory safety drill, no problem in this warm weather, it was just wonderful to be on the open deck.
After first nice dinner our Captain Arild Hårvik invited us to a heartily welcome into the Panorama Lounge.
As it has been a long
travel day for all guests most passengers went to bed early. Let´s see what the
following days at sea will bring.
