Santa Cruz, Tenerife

We had a good journey from Southampton to our first port of call, Santa Cruz in Tenerife. The Atlantic was generally calm with only a little movement through the Bay of Biscay. En route, we spotted our first whale about 100m from the ship. It came to the surface twice so we had a good view. The further south we travelled the warmer it slowly became. Today it is expected to reach 21 degrees with some sun. We will be delayed leaving port until late this evening because it appears a rogue fishing net has become entangled in one of the propellers and divers need to go down to investigate.Read more
