In this episode, our sailing plans take an unexpected turn as we make a last-minute stop in beautiful Barcelona for the night.
It’s been two and a half years since our last visit, and we’re excited to return and check in on the iconic Sagrada Família, which is now edging closer to completion after more than 100 years of construction.
After soaking up the atmosphere of the city, it’s back to sea. Jude takes the helm as she continues building her confidence and skills, while we enjoy a relaxed motor-sail toward our next destination.
As always, navigating into a new port brings a mix of excitement and nerves — even after years of experience, Richard still feels the tension of unfamiliar waters and unknown berths.
Join us for city sights, sailing moments, and real-life cruising challenges as our Mediterranean adventure continues aboard Helios.

We Sailed to Gibraltar and Climbed Inside the Rock’s Wartime Tunnels – S04E31
Gibraltar is our last stop in the Mediterranean and the jump-off point for the passage south to the Canaries. We sail in and anchor in the bay off La Línea, which gives us a great view of the Rock — even when morning fog rolls in and most of it disappears. Then the engine refuses to start. We suspe...
Exploring the Streets of Granada – Sailing Helios S04E30
We take a break from sailing and head inland from our marina in Motril to explore the historic city of Granada. A short train ride brings us into one of Spain’s most storied places — a city with over 2,700 years of history that has shaped cultures, kingdoms and daily life for millennia Granada does...

We borrow bikes from the marina and ride through the countryside to the historic hill town of Salobreña. Built on the slopes of a rocky promontory, Salobreña’s old town rises above sugar-cane fiel...
We Forgot to Open the Seacocks! Light Wind Sail to Motril – Sailing Helios S04E28
Almost fried the engine minutes out of Cartagena. After finishing the service, we left the seacocks closed — and only caught it once we were already underway. This is the slow leg sailing southwest along the Spanish coast toward Motril Marina. Light air, glassy nights in open bays, and a passage th...
6 Days of Sailing, Sunrises and Thunder – Sailing Helios S04E27
We say goodbye to Canet-en-Roussillon and set off on a mission: reach Cartagena in just 6 days. That means a few overnight passages down the coast of Spain, and a forecast that just says "variable." So the plan is to make the best of whatever wind we get, and motor when it gives us nothing...
