Ready about

Left at midnight as planned...beautiful balmy night with shooting stars, moonlight and dolphins.  Acceleration zone was great, especially when it was only blowing 5 knots.
I went down below to check (just in case).......water was pouring through a plank seam  in the hanging locker, on the water line. More washing!

Ready About.

We returned to La Gomera with our tail between our legs for more work on the boat.

Wooden boats. Who'd have 'em!

Safely tied up on the pontoon at San Sebastian Marina at 5.30 am. I suppose we had a lovely night sail, makes a change from a day sail!

It looks like we will be unable to make the Cape Verdes this year as its getting late for us to tour the Caribbean, but we will visit earlier in the season next time and spend some time visiting all the Islands.
