Had a very rolly night at the Playa Chinguarime anchorage so on 22 May left and motored to Valle Gran Rey on the SW corner of La Gomera passing Playa Santiago on the way
The coastline has many steep headlands interspersed by Barancos
Valle Gran Rey comes into view
Dutch Link anchored below the steep cliffs

Had a rolly night on 24-25 May. Swell and wind increased as night fell on 25 May - decided enough was enough as wind was increased to 18 knots and swell got worse and just as night fell, we motored into harbour and tied up alongside wall. Very expensive mooring - 27.5 euros per night to tie up to a very rough wall, no electricity, no toilets, no showers - could get water but had to arrange it in advance - all in all a bit of a rip-off. But no swell!
Harbour wall very rough
so used plank to protect fenders
27 May, friendly fisherman in boat moored in front of us invited us for a crab, shrimp, fish meal
Very good taste
28 May, wind and swell had died down sufficiently for us to anchor outside harbour again.
