Looks like the Good Captain is heading into La Playa for a spot lunch ? ? ?

This offshore sailing lark appears to be more civilised than I thought

I wish! Will be inValencia around midnight. Rigger booked to fix problem with mainsail car tomorrow early. Next stop likely near Alicante to sit out heavy airs saturday.

Warmed up a bit now.

Where do the wing mirrors go?

The rain in Spain is completely honking on Valencia. The two Italian lads sorting out the mast track are heroic...
Hope to leave this evening.

As long as it stays there & doesn't hit malaga, too much to do!

Nicer day today. Feels a bit more like med sailing. Warmed up a tad blue skies but snow on mountain backdrop.
We shifted to diesel dock around 8. 45 minutes later, under way and making way. Next stop Garrucha.

Ah 'Tamsel' bumped into her literally one night, or she bumped into us, in Cala Portinatx, Ibiza - different swing circles of mono and multihull. Looks like a nice day for sailing.

Well that was a right old bumpy night bashing round past Cartagena. Expected though so a case of setting a course for comfort rather than vmg.
Shipping lanes steady rather than busy but the usual fishing fleet didnt go out on a Sunday.
More motoring to come looking at forecast. We are gonna pit stop in Garrucha at around lunchtime to top off tanks and get a more accurate
Consumption rate.

Nice to be making good progress after weather delay.

Almost back in home waters then ? Looks like a levanter settling at the weekend
