Again on the way to Tenerife with friends. After 2 upwind tacks we are now sailing with the wind abeam. During the 2nd tack we were lucky, wind turned east and saved us 2 additional tacks.

We wanted to go into a marina in Santa Cruz but….
One marina did not even answer to our call – called about 10 times since 0900 -, and the other has one only after 21. Nov., which is the last departure day for the ARC boats, directly heading to St. Lucia.

The sea is really completely different from the Mediterranean Sea. While crossing from GC to TF, the long Atlantic swell rolls South with a height of 1 – 2 m but still a bit short.

Every reads on board or sleeps; I’m writing these lines to update all of you again.

My SuperWind wind generator produces currently 5 – 6 A solar cells deliver in peaks 10 A and a bit. If this continues, we have at arrival more power in the batteries then we had in the morning. I’m satisfied!
