La Gomera

On our second attempt, we made it to La Gomera yesterday and are now esconced in the Marina at San Sebastian. So far, it looks to be a lovely spot but we will be exploring more. We also plan on spending some time at anchor in a place called Puerto de las Vueltas on the southern side of the island.

The passage over was much less fraught than Friday's attempt though the wind still got up to 25 knots near the end which is of course half of what we saw on Friday.

Here are a couple of pictures as the island is very photogenic and we have quite a good wifi connection here.


first of all, the last picture of Teide I promise! It was neat to sea that the rain we had was falling as snow higher up!

These are the approach and entrance to San Sebastian. It has ranked as one of the more spectacular approaches - landfall isn't quite right when you can see it from your departure point.
