Canary Islands

Las Palmas was not our original destination, we were supposed to go to tenerife, but then we found out that we needed to be pulled into dry dock to got the steel plates of our hull measured, so here is las palmas, i'd rate it a 2 out of 5 stars
You are never supposed to see the hull of your ship because it typically means that your sinking, but in Las Palmas we saw the hull of our ship because we were in dry dock! We were on the ship when they pulled us out with a giant crane, and it was pretty cool, I never knew that like half of the ship was completely submerged in water at all times haha, it looked so much bigger! Las Palmas is a very touristy area, and its just very Americanized so there wasn’t really anything super cool, different, or unique about it, it was kind of like any city you would find in Canada or in the /us. But we went on an awesome hike and there were cacti like everywhere in that country! The hike was super awesome and had some amazing views photos will be posted somewhere on this blog!

One of our Ab's accidentally left the hydraulic pump for the anchor winch on, so guess what we had to do to get the anchor up while in drydock? :
