What this video covers
Jorman is on day five of a weather-forced layover at Marina de Las Palmas, Gran Canaria, waiting for a wind window to depart for Porto Santo, Madeira.▶ 1:11 He is crewing aboard a classic wooden sailboat owned by Julie, an 85-year-old woman who lives aboard with two Belgian Malinois dogs.▶ 3:04 The marina complex sits below street level, accessed by a ramp, and contains dive shops, fishing stores, nautical chandleries, and a boatyard.▶ 0:25 Jorman walks the marina at night, describing the layout, then covers daily routines that fill the waiting period: an hour of leash-training the dogs along the waterfront, hand-washing laundry aboard, and exploring Las Palmas on a quiet Sunday when the city center is nearly empty.▶ 1:11 He also visits the Real Club Náutico, where a fully wooden classic vessel on permanent shore display catches his attention.▶ 6:52 He credits local sailors Pipo and Marta for taking him to the island's south coast and introducing him to other cruisers.▶ 3:46 The passage to Porto Santo is the next planned leg.▶ 3:09
