Teenage Sailor Laura Dekka Has Left The Canary Islands On Her Cicumnavigation
Teenage Dutch sailor Laura Dekka, who is attempting to become the youngest person to sail solo around the world, has resumed her voyage after departing A Canary Island marina. Writing on her blog Friday, Dekker said she has already sailed 240 nautical miles (276 statute miles) since leaving Spain's Canary Islands on Wednesday and has 540 nautical miles to go to her next port of call, the Cape Verde islands, off west Africa. The 15-year-old started her trip from Gibraltar on Aug. 21 in her twin-masted sailboat Guppy and has spent two months in the Canary Islands waiting for the hurricane season to pass. Strengthening winds are pushing her along at 7.6 knots, she wrote, "so I am making very good progress." She expects to be at sea for a week before seeing the islands. Dekker's venture stirred an intense debate about whether young people should be allowed to sail the world's oceans alone.

Gran Tarajal is situated on the South East coast of Fuerteventura in the municipality of Tuineje, and is just a 30 minute drive from the airport in Puerto Rosario. This typical Spanish town is surrounded by hills on three sides giving shelter from the almost constant cooling trade winds for both the tourist enjoying the large safe beach and to the sailors moored in the brand new Gran Tarajal marina.The town provides all the facilities you would expect for a bustling community that is still mainly residential, but the potential of Gran Tarajal as a tourist resort is now being realised and a huge amount of investment is being brought into the area. The new marina is now complete and provides berths for yachtsmen and the local fishing fleet and the harbour also provides a new ferry service to Las Palmas in Gran Canaria. As you would expect in a coastal town fishing plays a big part in community life and this is reflected in the number of great restaurants that provide mouth watering seafood meals and is guaranteed to be fresh. Many of these restaurants are to be found along the promenade which runs along the “Blue Flag” beach. Every September an international deep sea fishing competition is held over a week long period with fishermen and their boats arriving from all the Canarian Islands. Gran Tarajal is the centre for the islands tomato growing industry with the harbour once being the main port for the export of the produce, now the majority is shipped overseas through Puerto del Rosario. This part of the coast is known as Costa Calma because of the shelter it affords from the near constant northerly winds making the many beautiful beaches and the sea close to the town very safe. Just to the east of the town is the village of Las Playitas and this part of the coast is the closest point of the Canaries to the African continent. Each year a festival takes place on the Gran Tarajal beach with a re-enactment of the local population defeating the invasion of English Pirates, known as the Battle of Timasite, which occurred in 1740. Many visitors to the island only see the tourist resorts but Gran Tarajal is well worth a visit. The town is seeing some development for new homes and businesses and property for sale in the town can be found on GoldAcre Estates

The new 18 hole Playitas Golf course on the Canarian Island of Fuerteventura has been designed by the popular Scottish golf course architect John Chilver Stainer whose philosophy was to create a fair but challenging course that would appeal to all levels of golfer. The course has been shaped beautifully utilising the natural hills and valleys in contrast with the surrounding rugged, volcanic mountains and sea views can be enjoyed from almost every hole. Perhaps the most memorable feature of the course has to be the shaping of the greens which require precision with approach shots, the many plateaus and undulations combined with fast bent grass greens can cost even the best of player to suffer those dreaded three putts. Playitas Golf has four ponds and many waterways which come into play on all but five of the holes so be prepared to stock up on balls in the proshop before you start!! Our signature hole is the Par 3 15th which at 169m with water short and right of the green and the prevailing wind coming from the left requires a committed and well executed shot. By modern standards the course is relatively short with a Par 67 of 4824m but an exciting mixture of eight Par 3’s, seven Par 4’s and three Par 5’s make it a really enjoyable game of golf which will require every club in the bag. Plans are already in place to construct three further holes in the near future which will increase the Par to 70/71. We can not forget that Playitas Golf has a PGA Academy, leaded by professional Murdo Mc. Corquodale who is available to give lessons in various languages. It is an ideal environment for beginners to learn the basic aspects of the game, or the more experienced player to train and improve their skills.
