Nomad 2026

Back in Amarilla marina, Tenerife. I have to be in El Hierro in a couple of weeks time. Deciding how to spend the time until then.

Booked in for a week here at Amarillo marina while I go to visit Margaux.

It doesn't look far but that took 16 hours.

NOMAD (MMSI 232066272), Sailing Vessel | Position & specs Arrived this morning. The pilot book said that this was the most expensive marina in the Canary Isles so happily suprised to only be charged €10 per night,  I've booked in for 6 nights and have to get back before the weather turns again. La Palma is the island that is expected to explode sometime in the future and create a tsunami that will wipe out Americas east coast. There was activity and lava flows here as recently as 2021 but I dont remember seeing it on the news. Friday 17th June 2026. Baranco de Agua. My last hike before returning to Tenerife on Sunday.

Very strong winds whipping between the islands for the next week or more, until it eases I can't go very far. I'm staying in the sheltered blue bits, I don't want to be in the green bits let alone the yellow bits. Lanzarote and Fuertaventura have no shelter from the winds at all! I've installed an AIS (Automatic Information System) transmitter so that ships can see me coming, previously I've only been able to see them.
