Ann-Elin Synnes flies from Norway to Santa Cruz de Tenerife to rejoin her partner Sam and their boat Pickle, then sails 33 nautical miles from Tenerife to Gran Canaria. The trip begins with a lost-luggage delay at the airport, forcing Ann-Elin to buy replacement clothes before departure.3:46 Conditions for the crossing are strong enough to produce whitecaps and a rough, choppy sea state; Ann-Elin takes seasickness pills preemptively, citing a previous bad experience at Malaga and Gibraltar.12:29 Sam had already stowed a squeaky autopilot before departure.13:21 Getting Pickle out of a crowded marina under engine requires a tight maneuver in reverse and forward to avoid a neighboring blue boat — a close call that rattles both crew.16:33 Once clear, they sail with the jib out and motor off.17:46 The passage takes roughly six to seven hours; Ann-Elin spends much of it lying below to manage seasickness.19:50 A geofence alarm Sam set triggers on approach to land, keeping watch as they enter the anchorage.23:22 The lesson: seasickness medication and a pre-set geofence alarm both proved their worth on a short but rough inter-island passage.
