Radazul to Garachico. At last!!!!!!!

We left Radazul early Sunday morning (28 June). No wind to speak of, but with our super smooth hull (Hempel Racing White) we made over 6 knots instead of the 4.5 knots with a dirty bottom. the repacked stern gland wasn't dripping (it should a bit) so I adjusted it with 2 huge spanners. Now ok!

Approaching the Punta De Anaga NE corner of Tenerife and an acceleration zone, the wind blasted us at 30 knots on the nose. Our speed fell to 1.4 kn at one time. This reminded us of Cape Vincent ( S/W Portugal ) but after 2 hours the wind ended.

So with the wind in the wrong direction or not at all we motored all,the way to Garachico.

   El Teide, Tenerife's volcano

On approaching the harbour entrance we remembered the warning email we had received from S/V Pilhaouers about uncharted rocks but even the prior warning did not prepare us for the looming slabs of rock just beneath the surface on our port side, with unbelievably no warning bouy or markers.

A Spanish family In an RIB whizzed along to warn us of what we had just seen. Thank you.

We berthed safely in this beautiful marina and hope to catch up with friends.........
