Arriving in Las Palmas, there is a man with pair of oxen. The ship’s log is attached to port handrail, a sailor painting under bridge, sailor’s canary in wooden cage.
Arrive at Canary Island, locals pose for the camera. Back on board having left Canary, more crazy deck games, man pretending to sew a button onto his life jacket.
On beach, with canoe, Arofava? KEP buying oranges. Cave dwellers on hillside seen form the ship. French women washing clothes on rocks by a stream, and then carrying their produce in baskets, holding them in a line on their way to the market, wearing traditional dress with white hats.
