Nice overnight sail, arriving with sunrise at the rock of Gibraltar.

Intended to go to La Palma but the wind was coming directly fro N. also after sailing 10 miles towards La Gomera. So we decided to sail to La Gomera. The first 3rd of the trip we sailed with 1 reef in the main , 40grad to wind and saw wind speed of max 20 knots True. afterwards the wind died out slowly so we motored for about 1h. Afterwards the wind came suprisingly from S and we made good speed with wind from 120 , full sails. within 15 miles of Valle Gran Rey, the wind died out, we motored for about 30 min and then got wind from N again. Close haul (40 degrees to wind), full sails. it slowly picked up and 10 miles from our destination we were in , 16- 20 knots wind true, with max 23 apparent and 7.8 knots top SOG. 2 mile left and the wind went down to 12 true. half a milw feom the bay it died out. busy anchorage (9-10 boats), with 3m swell, in no wind. boats in all directions. anchored in 15m depth, all chain out. great hold.

Conditions were good. Not much wind but enough knots to take out the sails. We anchored at Illetes. MOB practice.
