We stopped in Las Palmas, Gran Canaria to join the ARC rally which is a group of sailors crossing the Atlantic Ocean. We loved participating with the ARC because we made lifelong friends, enjoyed really fun events and felt safe with the safety inspections and demonstrations. The ARC also offered a kids club from 9-1 each day which our kids loved and they made tons of friends. Also, crossing the ocean felt much more peaceful knowing there were hundreds of vessels crossing at the same time. We even got a date night in!
