Ahoy, dear friends of sailingsymi,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After our short August break in Vienna, we\u2019re now heading eastward on Symi. Following a punctual and smooth direct flight with Ryanair (all the windows remained intact) to M\u00e1laga and a two-hour bus ride, we arrived safely back at the marina in La L\u00ednea de la Concepci\u00f3n the night before last and found Symi safely moored at the dock. We quickly hosed off the Sahara sand, and yesterday I already started installing the replacement parts that had been delivered here. The weather in Gibraltar is definitely late-summer-like. Just 26\u00b0 during the day and 19\u00b0 at night. Wonderful for working and sleeping well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It\u2019s interesting how, as soon as you step onto your boat, you\u2019re immediately back in \u201clake mode.\u201d Everything seems quieter and gentler, and the water all around you (even right there in the marina) soothes your soul. Whenever a bigger wave rolls into the marina, the Symi rocks briefly, and you feel right at home again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Especially with my injured shoulder, removing and installing a new electric toilet pump yesterday wasn't exactly pleasant, but after four hours, I was able to successfully finish the job. The bilge stayed dry again when flushing, and now it sucks just like an airplane toilet. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, Andrea used the electric winch to hoist me up to the top of the mast, where I was able to replace the tricolor lantern that had broken off over the Atlantic. I\u2019ve already checked off two tasks on the list. \u2611\ufe0f. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Good organization on board is half the battle, which is why it\u2019s important to always know exactly where to find a spare part. So today I set about registering all the new spare parts I\u2019d brought on board in my phone app. There, I can check at any time which of Symi\u2019s nooks and crannies I\u2019ve stowed each part in. Otherwise, this would be a never-ending search. The app is called \u201cItemido,\u201d costs next to nothing, and was originally designed for household use. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gerade habe ich per Mail erfahren, dass meine Hochdruckpumpe doch noch morgen hier ankommen soll, was ich gar nicht mehr erhofft hatte. Also kommt noch ein weiterer Punkt zum Basteln hinzu.\u00a0Die Aircondition.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today's sunset is absolutely stunning. After a long day of cleaning, Andrea has now headed to the galley, and I'm looking forward to a nice dinner with a sundowner beer in hand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our plans for the rest of the trip are to sail along the south coast to Almer\u00eda on Sunday, with a westerly wind. I'll describe exactly what happens next in my next blog post.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We wish you a wonderful evening and all the best from aboard the Symi. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
