Weather forecast is looking better and after
torrential storms the sun is trying to peep through.Decided to head out this
evening as winds dropping to force 4 and steadily set to reduce in
strength.
On reaching the straits between La Graciosa and
Lansarote our dinghy came adrift and it was a bit of a mission to retrieve
it.Unfortunately this was not to be the only mishap we encountered enroute to
Tenerife.The sea state started to rise steeply over the course of a couple of
hours and winds increased to over 20 kts.and wave heights 3m which came crashing
over the bows drenching us periodically.We had a roller coaster night which was
not too pleasant and we will all be relieved when we arrive in
Tenerife.
