Good bye Caleta del Vélez!
Up out of my comfy cabin bed at an unseasonal 8am. Provisions and personal belongings already stowed. Sails prepped and at the ready. A hearty crew breakfast of chorizos y chocolate…
… and then we’re off!
I organised the Can Opener and the crew to cast off the spring, bow and stern lines, let the wind catch my bow to spin us around and then steered a confident course for the open sea.
These catamarans carry quite a lot of freeboard – at the wheel I sit nearly 9 feet above the water. It’s kind of like driving a small office building across the Med. Ah me, new experiences every day…
And hellooooo Alboran Sea!
