| We've been on the island of La Palma (in the
Canary Islands) for 5 weeks. Storms with gale force winds arrived a
couple of weeks ago and more are on the way. We've been getting
hammered with rain, turbulence in the marina and winds gusting over 70
knots! We can't leave until things improve. In fact, we can
hardly even get off the boat! The floating docks are slats of wood
that bounce and ripple in the swells. It's like walking on one of
those suspension bridges only without handholds. |

 If this
picture had sound effects, you would hear the howling wind, the banging
halyards, slapping canvas, groaning dock lines and the drumbeat of waves
hitting the hull. |
 |
| However, before all this nasty weather arrived, we
enjoyed weeks of beautiful days and lots of exploring.
And we made some new friends. |
