Hi all, thanks for all the satellite messages. The Canary Islands are not best known for their speedy internet connections and getting updates across has been difficult. The time pressure is intense, every day extra has been one more day into the hurricane season. Last weeks high pressure front seems to have finally moved north and has made for more stable trade winds. I will need atleast 4 days of stable conditions to go past El Hierro (the Island to the south of La Gomera) and minimise the risk of being blown east towards Tenerife. Scheduled departure date Tuesday 4th Apri, 2006. b
