Friday lunchtime we leave the Playa de las Mujeras behind us under a blue sky and 10-15 Wind knots. We head due west towards the island of Tenerife. At nightfall, Nathalie takes her watch with just a beach towel to protect herself from the chill of the night. We are moving too fast and need to reduce the…
The weather is stable, North wind, Northeast of 10 to 15 Nodes for the next 5 days. Still beautiful days at the beach in perspective. We are at the southern tip of Lanzarote and dropped Damien off at the Rubiçon marina where we take the opportunity to fill up with water and shop. Back to our…

Fish us”taunt” since 2 days and yet we see them swimming around the boat, What puts us in “l”mouth-watering”…We dream of sushi with wasabi….So be patient, This is our motto!!!!
