We left Salcombe 16 days ago, and tomorrow morning we'll arrive at Santa Cruz, Tenerife where we'll leave Tintin secure in the Marina Atlantico until we return later in the autumn.
It has been a very good time, we have enjoyed our crew's company enormously, and Tintin's performance has been solid. The weather has been generally good, and we haven't tacked for ages. The sea has settled into a very gentle ocean swell.We are motoring today, the engine needed for the first time ( apart from in port) since rounding the Costa del Morte at the top corner of Spain.
Now we're on the same latitude as Agadir on Morocco's Atlantic coast, at 30° N, and it's a lot warmer.
