10 April - Gomora

A bit of a rocky first night at sea. I takes a little while to get used to the fact that not only your bed moves in unusual directions, but your whole world does the same thing. Still, gradually getting our sea legs. The comfort level on board is excellent, and nothing too much trouble for the crew and ‘hotel’ staff.

Our first port of call, arriving early in the morning, is San Sebastian, on the small island of Gomera. A sleepy town, partially perched on top of an impressive cliff overlooking the Atlantic.

The local inter-island car ferry service kind of put our small Wolfe Island ferry into perspective . . . .

Deciding to avoid the organized island tours we strolled off the port into town, soaking up the local atmosphere and breaking for an el fresco lunch.

Although the ship wont leave without you, it does have a schedule, so back to the boat on time by all is appreciated . . .by all!

A final glimpse of San Sebastian draped over the hills as we slip out of the harbour. The pilot leaves us, and we’re on our way again, next port of call, las Palmas.
