All was going all so well - quick 36 hour turnaround, new crew, fresh laundry, provisions loaded, beer stocked. Heading back to Z for a quick departure, bang went the tire in the middle of a tunnel. Speedy work by the Colonel and Neph saved the day and we left on time at 1500.
Motoring out past the east end of Madeira, the alternator on the engine then decided it needed a holiday. Disconnected all the wires, cleaned the connections and seems we're back in business. Light NW wind that's supposed to fill in, enough that we should be able to ghost along with the Code 0. Waiting in quiet anticipation for when we can turn off the engine... Forecast is for a light NW next couple of days and then a building SW breeze. On paper looks ideal for a good passage to Gibraltar, ETA some time there on Tuesday.
More from Neph manana.
