Fingers crossed for the engine 🤞🏻 - San Javier

Julie

The engine starts and keeps running, hooray! The anchor comes up easily, we hoist the mainsail, and we sail out of the harbor of Torrevieja. We sail against the wind for a while to create some distance from the coast, then we set course for our destination with full sails. There is only a six-knot wind, but with a wind angle of 50 degrees, we maintain a boat speed of two knots. At the 10-meter depth line, with about two miles to go, we start the engine. Without thinking about it, start and put it in gear. It keeps running and we motorsail further. The beach, the various anchored boats, and the relatively calm water make us decide to anchor at Ensenada del Esparto. We sail on a beam reach to the beach, drop the mainsail, choose a spot in 3.5 meters of water, and drop the anchor. There are high-rise buildings on the beach, but it could be worse. There are a few other boats here, but there is plenty of space, so it doesn't bother us.
