Wonderful sail. Experimenting with twin headsails (success), stargazing with Arthur, ringing in the New Year off the South coast of Tenerife.

Gran Tarajal to Morro Jable

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.

Relaxed sailing – learning to make the best of a broad reach.

Passage Rabat to La Graciosa

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…

Passage Lisbon to Alvor

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