White Christmas?
We finally left Tenerife on Friday and went the twenty odd miles to the neighbouring island of Gomera.
It felt great to be on the move again and we got a different perspective of Tenerife as it grew smaller behind us.
There was no anchoring allowed in the harbour at Gomera so we treated ourselves to a couple of nights in the marina - nice and still and no rolling motion!
We almost had a white Christmas if you can count the snow that appeared on top of Mount Teide this week (you can just make it out in the photo). Otherwise it was warm and sunny but we still cooked the traditional roast turkey with all the trimmings.
We are now ready (at last) to set off for the big voyage, so will be at sea until we arrive either in the Cape Verde islands in a week or two, or in Barbados sometime towards the end of January.

Just dipped in to see how far you have got, hopefully when you pick this up you will be safely on the other side. We are wintering in Olhao (5 miles from Faro) and loving every minute. April we start our travels into the Med and would like to winter in Croatia for next year. Good luck with your adventure, we´ll look you up again soon
