Departed Valencia for Gibraltar
Logged by Steve Bell Mediterranean 25 nm SW of Valencia Spain39deg0’ N, 00deg3’E
Had a good start - no issues leaving Marina Port Valencia. We had light winds but fairly large steep seas - about 5-8’ waves - some bigger for first few hours. Now - 25 nm out of Valencia we have a nice 10-12 knot breeze blowing on our beam and nellie is under sail at 7.5 knots - very nice.
Stuff to fix: FWD Black water (shit) tank - can’t empty the tank - problem with Macerator pump again - ARGH! Navigation light - Port side - Red - in operable - maybe spice or juction box. 48V Alternator - inoperable - maybe wiring or fuse 48V to 24V DC/DC charger - Inoperable - 1.2 V on 48V side -maybe fuse
We will arrive Cartagena around 0900 tomorrow morning - and will stay 24 hours - enough time to fix all things with Brian Bell’s great help.
