We started the day on watch weather not so good a bit breezy one would say but thoroughly enjoyed the movement of the ship a few felt unwell but we all carried on with duties on board sails had to be changed a few times lot of work with the ropes quite challenging a very busy day. Winds had got up to force 7 southerly and the ship was making 10 knots harbour entry was exciting with the ship drifting in sideways until brought head to wind opposite the berth. Arrived ahead of time at La Palma. Crew threw the heaving line ashore and a passing lady picked it up and handed it to the port police who deigned to drop it over a bollard.
