LaGmra Day 15 - Fiesta, Filming, Stock Photos 08 Dec, 06 - 20.38

A bit of bad news. The weather has changed and a low pressure front is moving in, estimated to hit La Gomera tomorrow. The winds have picked up slightly with Gale force winds expected to arrive tomorrow.
Most of the people in San Sebastian have gone walkabouts. Today is All Saints Day in the Canary Islands, which translates into everything being closed and a 12 hour fiesta starting at 6 in the evening.
We got the filming out of the way earlier on in the day, followed by a media interview.
Most of the evening was spent with the shore team, including former ocean rowers James 'Tiny' Little, Graham Walters, and Peter Hogden. Few people in history have ever successfully rowed across an ocean, compared to 2000 who have climbed Everest. The community of ocean rowers is extremely small, and it’s quite touching to see past ocean rowers fly all the way to La Gomera, to be at hand for assistance and see off people like myself, attempting a row for the first time. I hope I can do the same for fellow rowers in the future.
The boat goes on the water tomorrow at 10.30 am. More shortly.
