We are in Syracuse but there’s a mission behind this visit—we’re on the hunt for the final parts we need for our new water-maker but we do get time to once again be charmed by Ortigia’s narrow streets and vibrant atmosphere. With a large swell forecast to hit the harbour, we move quickly and take shelter in a calm bay near Brucoli. Once conditions ease, we set sail again, this time heading up the coast to the spectacular town of Taormina, a place we’ve long wanted to explore. Join us as we mix the practical with the picturesque on this leg of our journey.

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...
Stepping Back in Time on Richard’s 60th Birthday – Exploring Salobreña – Sailing Helios S04E29
It’s Richard’s 60th birthday and we’re spending a few days at Motril Marina on Spain’s Costa Tropical. 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...
