Back on La Palma

This time we were so landed in Santa Cruz / La Palma. The first night with slight rocking (because of the persistent swell in the harbour basin) had we survived. But this morning, we had to find, that there is a particularly telling argument for the harbour of Tazacorte, on the other side of the island: Dort scheint eigentlich immer die Sonne 🙂 und hier leider nicht 🙁

The day greeted us grey in grey and therefore we were until quite late on the way to Los Cancajos to the dive “La Palma diving”. The bus was easily and quickly there and shortly afterwards we were warmly received.

Vero was already on the go in the holidays, yet still some time for a common Cup of coffee was. The operation continues as usual of course during their absence, and so we arranged for the next morning the first dive on La Palma. Here, I wanted my new finally “Buoyancy compensator” inaugurate, I had bought in Tenerife. Annoyingly it had sold me in Germany a much too large jacket, that was me diving problems. Because when the steel cylinder (as. 18 Kilo) under water can make on your back, What does she want, is it not so easy, Depth and direction to determine reliably :-).

In addition we organized a car for the next days, to undertake further trips on the island. This time, we would explore extensively not only the underwater world, but also on land is still taking a few trips.

But haste with while :-)…. Once it went back to the boat. I tried to get my camera only, but Dietmar had probably already something else planned for the afternoon. Already this morning he had been conspicuously long on the first bridge. There is SY SOUTHERN CROSS:. A very nice and original traditional Sailer by 1930, on the road is under a German flag on the seas. So far he had can spot anyone on board, aber jetzt am Nachmittag war Leben an Deck zu sehen 🙂 Nichts wie hin 🙂

A little later we sat on deck and got a very interesting tour on the historic ship with gaff rig. Giselher and his Italian wife Alba have the spent winter in the Canary Islands, are at the moment on the way back to her residence on Mallorca. Die Beiden hatten wirklich viele interessante Geschichten zu erzählen 🙂 So ging der Nachmittag schnell und kurzweilig vorüber und nach einem leckeren Abendessen kehrten wir gut gelaunt auf die SUMMER zurück.

Here the diving equipment for tomorrow had to be prepared yet. Finally everything was packed on the deck it was already too late, anything on land to company. So we watched a video from our collection, before we passed us by this day in the bunk.

 

 

 

 

One thought on “Back on La Palma

  1. Hi Katja, Hello Dietmar,

    habe gerade versehentlich die gesamte Internetseite geschlossen und glaube, meine angefangene Mail an euch ist nicht abgeschickt worden. Wir waren zusammen auf La Palma auf der MY Bussard. Eure Reiseberichte lesen sich sehr lebhaft und endlich weiß ich, was dort beim ersten Tauchgang unter Wasser passiert ist. Ich mußte so lachen, weil ich diese Sorte von Schlaumeiern unter Tauchern so gut kennedie können anderen hervorragend mit ihren Problemen /meistens zu wenig Luft/ die schönsten Tauchgänge verderben. Wir hatten uns auf der Bussard auch darüber unterhalten, dass wir während der Segeltörns mit unserer SY Psyrax in der Karibik mehrfach Romy und Theo aus München getroffen haben. Die haben ihre Erfahrungen auf ihrer Hompage http://www.titaro.com festgehalten. Dort findet ihr unter 2012 Guatemala die Beschreibungen, wo sie ihr Boot im Sommer Hurricane-sicher untergebracht haben. Viel Spaß beim Lesen und euch noch ganz viele tolle Erlebnisse!
    Herzliche Grüße Elke
