Current Location: La Palma Marina, Canaries.

La Palma. The most north westerly of the Canaries. The Beautiful Island. The steepest island in the world. The volcano that could create a tidal wave that submerges New York. The wettest Canary. The purest water because it rains 5 times as much as in Lanzarote.
Just a short one tonight - we're fairly tired after two nights at sea. But it's been an excellent shakedown exercise. We all seem to get on OK, watches are working well and M has behaved herself in pretty benign conditions. 220 miles done, 2,600 to go. Destination Martinique.

The plan now is to hire a car for a couple of days, then a final stock up and leave on Tuesday. The new sat phone communications seem to be working well so with a bit of luck blogs will continue.
OK, sleep calls, uninterrupted by close encounters with large cruise ships, sinking fishing boat mayday calls or pan pan calls from Tenerife radio.
