just round the corner from where we want to be (puerto rico) do you know much about the north around santa maria way i dont think we'll have enough time to trek around there too much?... i'm hopefully going to find work in a garage and i'm guessing there's more up there as it's more residential.

The Trasmed.ferry with dog facilities,runs out of Cadiz and covers most of the Canaries.They estimate 30hours going down to G.C. but it was about 48 for us from Tenerife incl. extra stops.
There is a Royal Mail ferry,St Helena,which works most of the remote Atlantic islands going as far as Cape town and the island of St Helena.
It has a varied sked and maybe only twice a year goes direct to the Canaries from Portland.
If you are looking for mainly British trade I think Tenerife would probably be a better bet than G.C.
