The never ending search for nowhere

We had a good crossing. Thanks to my crewmembers who were very helpfull during  2 days crossing. Jan was very scared again even thow there was no storm or high waves. So, it was a good decision to have 2 persons more on board. I was so happy for Jan to arrive on Lanzarote  Marina Rubicon, where we stayed for a short 2 day break to rest and to anchor in Papagayo bay. Lovely place.

On 27 th we sailed back to Marina Del Sur in the south of Tenerife. Soraya had to fly back to Belguim for hospital and dentist  visits. Meanwhile,  Jan was shaking all over due to the swell in the poorly protected harbour. A discomfort that was heavily compensated with  several visites at McDoalds. On the 29th Soraya flew back to Tenerife North.  The weather forecast predicted a good window  between the 2nd and 4th. Knowing we had to go through the channel from South to North again, this was our boarding call. Soraya went solo to San Sebastian, while Jan picked up 2 crewmembers at airport Tenerife South. Once again the forecast predicted a pleasant 10 knots, that in the end turnen out to be well over 25 in the channel. Bottomline, look at the forecast, then add 15 knots.  Soya teamed up with our friend and neighbour in Arecife Michael' a German guy and his boat Amaral.He hadhis new girlfriend aboard with little boat exerience and a tough to ignore tendency...
