San Sebastian - Marina La Gomera
Our last day in the Canaries (and Europe).
It was spent checking the boat and ensuring all our gear was stowed properly. We had a small list to port leaving Tenerife. Shifting a few heavy items bought the boat upright. Kiriwina is the deepest in the water she has ever been. If we continue with this weight on board the waterline will have to be raised a few cm.
We made room for a large basket in the forepeak to keep fresh food in the dark.
The main halyard and all sheets were given a wash, rinse and dipped in fabric softener solution.
Marina La Gomera calculate charges on the actual dimensions of the vessel so our daily cost here was €11.80. They also issue clearance papers for the boat and crew but our passports were not stamped.
Tomorrow morning we will top up with fresh water and diesel and should be on our way by 10:00. The weather forecast is for E-NE winds F4 should will be just fine.
