San Miguel, Tenerife

We had hoped on Sunday to spend the day and night at anchor at Playa de la Guancha, so paid up at San Sebastian and head out. The wind was very light in the marina but touched 20 knots going round the headland. I think though that this must have been a local wind affect of the high land because it was we think coming down from altitude and running along the coast. All this contrived to mean that our anchorage was now a lee shore, albeit with fairly light winds. We decided that we were not happy to anchor in those conditions as the holding wasn’t that good there. We decided to sail back and had a great sail in about 15 knots and again very little swell, our first relaxing sail in the Canaries for weeks, excellent. The evening was spent at the marina bar then back to the boat for chicken risotto made with the stock from the ginger chicken. This was our last evening with Jill and Phil as they were having the last couple of days for some time together and some golf for Phil as it was a little too taunting to bring him to the Golf del Sur resort and not let him have a game.
