first departure

finally the time arrived to leave gibraltar and start heading towards the canaries so peter and esteban left on october 28 but after two hours had to return to port because of a minor problem with the alternator and battery charger. it was minor because they were close to shore, had they continued like that, they would not have been able to charge the batteries, so of course they turned around. the problem was fixed within the next couple of days but unfortunately there was a bad front coming and they had to stay 10 more days waiting for the weather to give them a chance to depart again. in the meantime they celebrated halloween at the marina, visited sevilla and also spent some days at peter’s house in el rompido, in the south west part of spain.
