Hi All
We on sat phone so a quick update. We went to LaGomera had a pleasant sail
there, the next day we were trying to go to La Palma, left the marina and
had wind at 20 on the nose, so turned around and went south to an anchorage,
half way down, the wind turned and we had 10 kts on the nose again! Typical
Canary island sailing, although the NE trade winds are dominant, the land
fors change the wind and wave direction, so har to really sail pleasantly.
Tried again the following day, but same again so backed off to Gran Canaria,
80 miles to go.
