Marina La Gomera

Yet another early start for us all, to set off to La Gomera the 6th island for Dad and Jo and the 2nd Island for me and Sean, it was quite exciting for all of us to get here because none of us have been here before.





It was a good journey down to here but we did have to motor most of the way as the wind kept dying every time we tried to put up the sails up, but just as we thought we were nearly there we had to cross a wind acceleration zone with 30 knot winds and rough seas and then as quick as it came it went again. Then as we came close to the land it was nearly flat calm again and we arrived into the marina of La Gomera
Shortly after we set off I spotted some massive Atlantic dolphins as they swam beside the boat. Also after that we saw some bottle noised dolphins and they started to do some tricks for us and as well as that me and dad spotted a turtle sheltering underneath some rubbish.



When we got to La Gomera we all set out to explore what there was to see but me and Sean went to snorkel in the sea but we had to give up because we couldn’t see a thing so we just went for a paddle around instead.



We have had our tea which was paella and it was very nice sat outside in the sunshine.
Which was shortly followed by a walk around the town where we discovered through a secret tunnel we found the cave bar also known as Club Nautico de la Gomera.
