Forgot to mention

Yesterdays passage may have been a washout as far as sailing and getting places was but it was good for wildlife.

We first of all past a turtle very close as we were off Punta Rasca at the SE corner of Tenerife. I think the poor chap (I assume he was a male) was a bit bothered as he flipped over on his back as we passed but then turned right way up.

On the way back, we were passed by a small pod of pilot whales at nearly the same spot. They are only actually a bit bigger than dolphins but were still very impressive. We were still not feeling like getting the camera out though I am afraid.
