What this video covers

Pat and Frankie host friends for a visit in Santa Cruz de Tenerife, Spain, while preparing for a planned passage to La Gomera. The group explores the Anaga mountains and Benijo Beach before participating in local carnival festivities, where men traditionally dress in women's clothing. The hosts demonstrate a matcha preparation technique in the galley using a handheld electric whisk and oat milk. The crew also completes a mural of their boat’s name on the marina wall, a local tradition for sailors preparing for upcoming crossings. The visit concludes with a sunrise trip to Teide National Park, which the hosts recommend visiting early to avoid crowds. The group departs, leaving the hosts to finalize preparations for their next transit.
