A short stay in Chipiona to let the seas settle after the storm. Starter motor on diesel would not work as we were about to leave. Checked "all" the wiring and tested all three solenoids, but no love. Called mechanic. He arrived within 30 minutes. He borrowed a mirror from us and found a loose wire, under the started motor, I had missed. He charged only 30 Euros. Not bad. We were underway the same day.

April, 2017 - BUOY #11, RIO GUADALQUIVIR
We are trapped in the river for 3 days waiting out a major storm. Winds up to 60 knots in the Straight of Gibraltar. We estimate about 40 knots in the river. We anchor near Buoy # 11 a few miles up the river.
| Low tech fishing in the river, before the storm. |
| We are anchored near a nature preserve. |
| Stork nest village. |
| Red sky at night signals end of storm. |
