Passage Pasito Blanco, Gran Canaria to Valle Gran Rey, La Gomera
Wonderful sail. Experimenting with twin headsails (success), stargazing with Arthur, ringing in the New Year off the South coast of Tenerife.
Sailing on SV Humpback with the Beck family

Atlantic crossing aborted for now after a couple of minor boat problems. Lovely passage, though 🙂
Sailing against the trade winds…. not fun.
Be aware of the wind speeds in this area (ignore the forecasts, listen to locals) – fun sailing in flat conditions with light-ish background winds.
Lovely sail – settling into having two crew & three kids.
We had planned this passage to test our sea legs on a longer stretch than we have encountered previously, as you do when one of the two-person ‘crew’ is eight months pregnant…

Our worst passage to date, by a distance.
On passage from Lisbon to Alvor we had a combination of lovely sailing conditions (first half) and wind-lacking conditions. Charlotte poorly again!
