9 beaufort between Gran Canary and Tenerife

Sailing around Canary Islands - North around Tenerife and South around Gran Canarian. More pictures coming. Here a few pictures from last day/ night storm. It started with 30 knots of wind but fast increased over 40 knots. Time to time the wind was close to 50 knots (20-25 meters per second.) The waves were 7-10 meters high. The boat was going fast with only about 1m² sail but no much damages. Only the crew got deep salt shower and the wind did something to the Finnish flag.
