The parts finally arrived Monday evening - extortionately expensive...600 euros for a small piece of steel and a couple of o-rings. We sailed south on Tuesday morning and had a gentle sail in light winds. We used the time to try out our mizzen 'tween sail but it didn't add any speed and we've decided we need to modify it slightly so it sets better.
We are now anchored in the Mar Menor, a huge inland sea. Entry is through a canal; the bridge over it opens up every couple of hours.
We plan to make a few more stops down the coast before Gibraltar. We are now looking at exploring Morocco before we get to the Canaries. More news soon.
