Vibe: 🌴🏴‍☠️ - Las Palmeras

Julie

We set course for Las Palmeras, just 10 miles away. For the fifth time, the engine starts without any issues. Hooray! We unfurl the genua. With a broad reach we are able to steadily sail towards our destination. Our wind vane, Winnie, takes over the helm. We cast out the fishing line, hoping to add some fresh fish to our diet! The journey goes smoothly, and before we know it, we are sailing the last two miles of the trip. Winnie is disengaged, and we sail the final half mile with the wind directly behind us. We reel in the fishing line, but unfortunately, we haven't caught anything. We drop anchor in about five meters of water. Feeling overconfident, we deploy just 20 meters of chain and reverse with a bit more throttle, causing the anchor to slip. Greg lets out more chain, and we gradually dig it in. When diving, we see some patches of posidonia, but the anchor is well dug into the sand. What an exotic place; it feels like an oasis. Surrounded by palm trees, fossilized dunes, and small caves, the beach has an alternative vibe with campfires, guitars, and campers who have claimed abandoned buildings. It feels like a community of modern pirates, wonderful! Greg sets the stern anchor to reduce the boat's rolling. We relax, cool off in the water, and scrape off the growth from the hull. That should help with sailing in light winds.
