The coast of La Palma

 

Good Morning! Yesterday afternoon we arrived off the coast of La Palma and watched a volcano erupt from 6 km offshore in the late evening. At first we were moving very slowly in order to observe this once in a lifetime experience, though sometime in the evening we picked up speed in order to reach our destination.
