We left Almeria earlier then planned as we wanted to visit the beach a bit north of
Cabo the Gato, we anchored up but had forgotten to take in the
fishing line, which of course had wrapped itself around the prop!
Now this happened to be the new line JM had bought in the Azores specially
to catch a big espadon, which we didn't catch !!
But the line turned out to be very strong indeed, it took me ONE hour
to get it out of the prop!!
So we had  a night journey to Aguila which was tiring, but more special is that
when we found and moored in the marina the starboard engine didn't want to
start NO-more, ie; this engine had the saildrive just repaired in La Linea !!!
Not that I want to blame anybody immediately, but still ??
So I have spent most of  this beautifull morning in and out of the engine room,
which is so small I need a mirror to see the starter motor.
Still not found the problem so I am going back to that,
more later,,,,
