La Bocayna
La Bocayna or La Bocaina ((スペイン語:Estrecho de la Bocaina)) is the name given to the sea strait that separates Lanzarote from Fuerteventura in the Canary Islands.The small island of Lobos is situated on the southern side of the strait, close to Fuerteventura.〔〔
In the 19th century, the strait was known as a safe anchorage with a sandy bottom, which shelved gradually towards Lanzarote with depths of up to five fathoms. The shore around Lobos was less hospitable, being ‘foul and rocky’. A steady trade wind could be found in the strait, although it was blocked by the hills of Lanzarote, becalming ships that were in their lee, tacking towards Lobos was needed to regain the wind.〔
Large breakers were observed by one ship’s captain, produced by a heavy westerly swell. Waves up to high were seen breaking on the northern point of Lobos, the sound of the waves could be heard up to six or seven leagues away.〔
==Lighthouses==
The strait is marked by a number of lighthouses including Punta Martiño on Lobos, Pechiguera at the south western end of Lanzarote, and Tostón on the north western side of Fuerteventura.〔
