Return to Spain

Jack Tar crew are now back at Almerimar on the southern Med coast of Spain, after a long flight via Singapore and Zurich to Malaga, thence rental car to a delightful apartment overlooking the golf course whilst the boat was on the hardstand.  There was much work to be done and the boat was a mess but after two weeks we were ready to return afloat with a new standing rig and a new very modern Raymarine navigation system; the first e125 touchscreen display in Spain. And of course new antifouling and hull polish.  The crew were exhausted and ready for a break but there is no time for that if we are to be ready for a trip to Gibraltar.
