Goodbye La Palma! We felt a bit sad and nostalgic leaving this little paradise behind us. What an amazing island!
However, the journey continues with many more great destinations ahead. We set sail right before lunch and sailed into the night to El Hierro. It was quite a rough trip with fierce wind and swell from astern.
We set course to La Gomera at first to avoid an area of strong winds, and continued south to Puerto de la Estaca on El Hierro. We approached the harbour in complete darkness, had a few intense moments while crossing the compression zone, and found shelter in the marina around midnight.
