After 5 days and 5 nights at sea, we finally found our island (Tenerife) in the ocean.  This was our longest trip to date and a good warm up to the ARC rally which will take about 15-18 days.

Life at sea is what you make of it. We had a little of everything with the weather and sea life visiting us.

Sometimes it rained…

A lone cruise ship on the horizon..

Sometimes we had visiting dolphins…

The water really started turning blue the further south we headed…

We had some really bright nights, as the moon was full and the skies were clear.

…and we had some really nice sunrises.

On the finally day, we were visited by some pilot whales.

Then, finally after 5 days and nights, LAND HO!

Time for a selfie.

Marina Santa Cruz.

You have to transit the commercial docks to get to Marina Santa Cruz.  Due to the low price of oil there are a few drilling platforms sitting idle here, too.
