Nomad 2025

I'm booked into the marina here until 4th of December. The sand dunes at Maspolamos. Wednesday 26th. I'm off to see Margaux for a week, back next Wednesday. 

Moved to Puerto de Mogan for a change of scenery. Sunset on the cliff face. View from my anchorage

Strong winds arriving tomorrow for the foreseeable future, if I don’t cross now I risk being stuck in Tenerife when my flight leaves from Gran Canaria in 10 days time.

I've booked into the marina here at Las Galletas for 4 nights. Bad weather is expected on Thursday, maybe very bad but fortunately I am very close to Los Christianos where I expect to find a surfeit of Irish bars to while away the hours while Nomad gets a thorough washing. 'Red Mountain' which I passed along the way. It is right next to Tenerife South airport. Friday 14th. The clouds have finally lifted and I get my first view of Mount Teide 3718m, a volcano, it's the highest peak in Spain and nearly three times higher than Ben Nevis. It doesn't look much from here but I suppose that's because it's nearly twenty miles away.

Not pretty but a good anchorage. 

Friday 31st October.  Still here in Radazul in the hope that my repaired autopilot sent from Portugal over three weeks ago will turn up, long story. Today a young girl in the 40 foot yacht next to me disembarked alone and steered the boat out of the marina. Yesterday she went up the mast to replace a bulb at the masthead. I had been expecting a boyfriend or her dad to pop their head out of a hatch at some stage since she arrived but it seems I was mistaken. She really was alone.
