Final Stop Before Summer Break 2025
Our final El Hierro episode before Germany: we explore the island’s rugged south, visit La Restinga and the ancient site of El Julan, and reflect on perspective before heading on.
El Hierro, the End-of-the-Map Island
After weeks of island-hopping, we reach El Hierro—lush cloud forests, volcanic coasts, relentless wind, and the sobering reality of migrant arrivals in La Restinga.
The Edge Of The World
From an “easy” day sail to a gusty arrival: we sail to El Hierro with a summer plan for Santana, scope out La Estaca, and discover why this quiet island still demands respect.
Sailing to Valle Gran Rey
From anchoring in gusty Valle Gran Rey to a dockside concert and a road trip through La Gomera’s wildflower-covered mountains—plus a look at Silbo Gomero, the island’s whistling language.
Reaching the Canary Islands in January
After 450 nautical miles from Morocco, we made landfall in La Graciosa. Quiet anchorages, tricky swells, and the beauty of Canary Islands cruising.
