Five and a half hour motor-sail yesterday. Beautiful day. No wind unfortunately and what there was only amounted to 6knots. We flew the Code Zero, a large lightweight sail that picked up a knot or two for us. A pair of bellows may have been useful. Greg skyped family in Berlin and Norwich, who thought it surreal to be speaking to him as we sailed along.
Leaving Fuengirola early morning - prefer the hinterland to the coastal strip:

Sun Block required on lips today.
Greg skyping from the deck :O)
The sail on left is the Code Zero, the one on right is the main, because the wind was very light (and directly behind us) we 'goosewinged' the sails (one out each side) to get as much surface area exposed as possible - even so you can see the sails are not 'full' of wind, but they still gave us a bit more ooomph :O)
