Sea Cloud and Sea Cloud II are in Rosario today, they are both passenger sailing vessels, Sea Cloud was built in 1931 and Sea Cloud ll in 2000 both are circa 100 meters long, but if I remember correctly Sea Cloud is just less than that and sea Cloud ii slightly longer, generally sail together and is a sight well worth watching as they are genuine sailing vessels and when we saw them last year they were in full sail, I know they are bound for Teneriffe so logic says they will sail south down the east coast, I have no idea when they are due to leave Rosario or when they are due to arrive in Teneriffe, but they are well worth keeping an eye out for.

For anyone who is interested Sea Cloud ahs cleared the harbour and is heading south, Sea Cloud ll has just left her mooring and is following on, should be off Caleta in 15/20 minutes.

Not as impressive as last time Sam, when they were further inshore and fully rigged, possibly to much wind and slightly calmer out there.

I saw a report today that says they weren't due in at Puerto del Rosario but there was a problem in Tenerife and they had to delay their arrival there so called in our Puerto en route. They are both now docked in Puerto de la Cruz. They are on a cruise of the Canaries and then off to Cape Verde.

That is more than possible Tamara, they arrived 6+ hours apart which is unusual in its self, and if I remember the first one arrived mid afternoon.

The brand new liner 'Spirit of Discovery' from Southampton in PDR yesterday, hence loads of Brits around!
Seems to be a one-off as Fuerteventura is not in their future schedule. Their other new sister ship 'Spirit of Adventure' is scheduled for 2021.

The guests I spoke to briefly, were very happy with the quality - described as 'boutique cruising'. Over 50's.

I notice this year there don't appear to be any Cunard Liners visiting, I wonder why as we had 3 last year (season) I wonder if the tourism department have asked for passenger feedback?

Mein Schiff Herz in Puerto today. Wasn't in the original schedule for some reason.

According to her itinerary, she was due here on the  17/12 from Arrecife going on to Gran Canaria and Tenerife before stopping at two ports in the Azores before ending the Cruise on 26/12 in Madera, when she actually arrived from Arrecife this morning and is bound for Gran Canaria, would appear she is five days behind schedule.

I have done some searching, and she was formally Mein Schiff 2, a  frequent visitor over the last 3/4 years
Here is her supposed Itinerary

    Departing from Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Canary Islands 
14 Dec - 15 Dec 14:00
    Funchal, Madeira Island, Portugal
16 Dec - 17 Dec 05:00

I have checked and there are no recent reported accidents involving her so why she is off schedule I have no idea
