We're back

We're back, atlhough I hesitate to say we're home, as I'm not really sure where that is right now. Ty Dewi is safely tied up in a marina in the warmth of La Gomera, and we are back here in Cambridge, starting to pack and sort the household belongings in preparation for moving out in three weeks time.

We had a great few days in Valle Gran Rey before we left, I'll blog some more about that, hopefuly, but the town is at the base of some amazing cliffs, which dwarfed the boat in the anchorage. To get back to San Sebastian, Dad and I sailed around the north of the island, to see the dramatic scenery, whilst the others took a bus ride over the top with equally dramatic but less sea-sick inducing views.

The boat got a real workout, beating into 25 knot tradewinds before the breeze shut off completely in the backwash from the high cliffs, so Dad and I motored half the way round.

Meanwhile, the kids got to play on the beach and were just ready for ice creams and dinner as we arrived back in port. More stories in coming days, I hope, and much to do in the next couple of months before depating for the Caribbean.
