We left La Palma again and are on our way to Benicarlo, Spain. There we will go to set the Tecla dry, in early march. The two month on La Palma where wonderful. The Christmas storm kept us from painting, but still we did already a good part of painting. At the moment, the weather is a bit disappointing. Our shorts are in the wardrobe again, now we have to wear our oil goods. As we left, there was a south easterly wind, so that was a nice sail, at the moment the wind is east,so we started the engine to help the sailing a bit. Around us, is a lot of thunder, some times rain, but also blue sky's, so we can take off our jackets. The first group of dolphins and gannets already said hello, also we saw an orange turtle, warming in the sun! The nights are clear, just after a full moon, Orion leads us again, but now on starboard site. It is good to be on the sea again. -
