Our shortest hop to date. Had to motor as no wind
to start with, then strong confused winds from varying directions as we
approached.
Saw a small pilot whale.
Very relaxed sail of just 27 miles, with boat on
autohelm and destination visible from the start, so we both sat at the front of
the boat on cushions.
At La Gomera for the walks and scenery, following
in the wake of Christopher Columbus who set off from here to discover the New
World (at least as far as Europe was concerned).
