We have settled into the council marina here. There are not many good anchorages around the islands. Daryl organised a lot of Australian boats to park together while the marina staff were too busy to notice, so we have terrific company. Girls fly back to Germany in a week. This morning we hired a car and headed well away from the sea, to Tejeda in the middle of the island. Roads were terrifyingly winding, with 12 degree slopes, much scarier than the ocean! The last stretch, no rail and a long drop, had us all in a quivering heap by the time we got to the end. We climbed up Roque Bentayga, 1404 metres above sea level, so Sabine's highest piece of land so far, although we didn't quite go to the top. Need the Hickeys to push us the last bit! Here is a photo of our special mountaineering footwear for Kathy to admire. You can also see Tenerife, another island over the clouds.
