Gibraltar to Canary Islands

As we set sail for the Canary Islands we had a few things to go over; Auto-pilot, Navigation, Leaks, etc. Once all had been looked over and given the OK we set sail around 7am. The beginning of the trip was pleasant with light breezes and low seas.
We weren't very confident in the stability of the rigging so it was agreed that we would take it easy and not put to much pressure on the rigging. As the first night passed the seas become far more vicious that expected and winds got up to 20 knots, a speed we didn't feel the rig would quite handle at full capacity, with the main sail reefed we continued our journey toward the Islands.
As the third night passed the winds increased and were reaching up to 30 knots and the seas maintained their vicious heights.
Overall, we arrived to the Canary Islands safe and in one piece after 6 long days and nights.
