It was getting dark when we arrived back at Selvagem Grande and for a moment we considered just to drop off our friends and leave right away. While the swell seemed bigger than in the previous night and it was definitely not comfortable, but as safe as it gets there, we finally gave in to another night at anchor.
In the morning conditions improved with more wind and less swell and around 11 we weighed anchor, said good-by to our friends via radio, and set off to La Palma.
Sailing was mostly smooth and comfortable, with wind and waves nearly from behind. Not fast but ok.
Next morning we arrived at La Plama which had piled up some clouds and from sunshine at sea we went into a light drizzle as we entered the harbor and marina.
With lots of space in the marina, we were given free choice on where to moor Taniwani and we decided to go into one of the bigger berths at the innermost wall. Then it was time to relax and for a night with undisturbed sleep.
Today, Sunday, we just had a short walk through the town, with all shops closed. Tomorrow we will get a car and explore the island for three days, before moving Taniwani around the island to the west side to Tazacorte.
Stay tuned for more on La Plama…..
