Wednesday 26th of March 2025. The Costa Blanca.

Thank goodness. On the move again.
Going around the very distinctive Cabo de Gata from the Costa del Sol into the Costa Blanca.
The Cabo de Gata lighthouse.
First test of my wind vane self steering contraption.
Very happy with it but it needs some fine tuning. It doesn't make noise and flatten my batteries like the electric ones.

    Well done for rounding this cape successfully, Brendan! It has a lot of conflictive currents and in our day Pat was apprehensive about this part of our voyage. Fortunately, it also went smoothly.

Tuesday 9th December.  Oh dear! The marina is full, I have to stay outside on the anchor until a space comes free which the man said could be a month or two. I think he's scaremongering but I suppose he has to give me the worst case. He showed me the list of twelve boats in the queue ahead of me. Very strong winds are expected at the weekend, if Nomad survives that without the anchor dragging then I would feel confident leaving the boat anchored over Christmas. I'll have to read up on anchoring.
