We landed in the marina this morning, after a wind-filled trip over from Tenerife.  We were going to anchor overnight in Puerta Sardina, but the Westerly swell and 30 knt wind decided us to move forward.  After gently navigating the Port (and missing the ferry, plus a few sky scrapers that were on the water too), we anchored overnight just outside the marina entrance.  Came in this am and have re-fuelled, but not yet checked in or dealt with other formalities as we have a more pressing problem with the davits, which would mean someone losing their eye on the pontoon if left.   More anon, will enjoy the kip tonight and WE’RE HERE!
