good sailing day. less than 30 min engine time in total. After refueling (full tanks) at Amarilla, we directly opened the Genua and with 10-12 knots of true wind we were making 4-5 knotts of speed. we tried to avoid the confused area around the lighthouse but even 1.5 miles out we did end up in the "no wind a confused sea" area. we started the engines. after crossing the ferry route we hoisted the sails on starboard and made our way to san Juan. Nearby Costa Adeje the wind direction alloed us to get the Genaker out (Genua in) on Starboard. At El Puertito the wind direction changed and started coming from the Starboard so we changed the Genaker on the Port. Made up to 6.5 knots of Speed in 12 true wind from 170.

we started with the engine for about 5 hours. afterwards the wind picked up and we had a nice sail, with comfortable 1-2 m waves from stern. max speed 7.4 kn in 15 kn true wind. 15 miles form our anchor place in Los Abrigos we were shortly greeted by a few dolphins hunting. A lovely sail

South wind 8-15 knots apparent, with 2.5m - 2.8m swell from NW. 0.5 miles before Tazacorte 16 knots NW apparent. averagee speed 6.2 knots; max 8 knots. start 8:20. arrived at 17:00. overtook Monohull Eden (DE) after about 1/3 of the trip. they had left Estaca before us. anchored on second attempt; gave up on the first try because of funky boat movement (boat would not turn in the wind) and after local motorboat skipper warned of high waves and recommended to move deeper towards the marina. callled rhe marina on channel 9 to ask for a mooring for a night: they reported they are complete, so we took the advice and anchored closer towards the marina.

Best of sailing!!
