We are back on the Boat - Having arrived in
Torrevieja the 30th April we have spent the Friday cleaning up inside and
checking all the final bits of work done. Our new solar panels are just
fantastic - the power we are getting is more than enough for our consumption,
recharging the batteries after a hard nights usuage and coping with ongoing
drainage.
Saturday we toke the boat out just to check all
was working - sails come out OK etc. Something of a shakedown sail, The
wind was very light and the sun shone all day. Happily all went
well.
Its Now Sunday - We set off from Torrevieja in very
light winds - just a lovely day. We didn't plan to go far - Just to Santa
Pola some 16 miles north to again be sure all is well. The wind filled in a little at about 1.00pm, allowing us to
gently sail at about 3 knots.
After a very pleasant afternoon in the sun we
arrived and were all tied up by 4.30pm.
Tomorrow we plan to push a little harder distance
wise, up to Calpe. Then either up to Moira or Denia and accross to
Ibiza
