This page displays a short 'Update' of our current
location and activities between postings of the full trip reports. While
on passage we will post daily logs of activities on board and update the
picture using the Winlink onboard email system. The "Latest

position.
UPDATE:
October 12, 2004
The island of Tenerife is a delight.
We drove through pine, eucalyptus and hardwood forests on winding
mountain roads and finally came into the center of the huge caldera
where Mount Tiede, the highest point in the Canaries, dominated the
landscape. The summit of Mount Tiede is above the clouds and way
above the tree line. Hiking around caused us a lot of huffing and
puffing.
