| Another submarine - Torrevieja |
We left for the opening of the 10.00 a.m. lock but were about 10 minutes early, so Roger used forward and reverse to keep us in the narrow canal. This was quite difficult with the windage on our boat as there was a Force 4 blowing, just as Roger decided to do a complete circle, he lost steerage and the engine stopped! We turned everything off, but luckily it restarted again. We decided to sail to Torrevieja, which was not very far away, in order to get a replacement water filler cap which had fallen to pieces. We anchored in the very sheltered harbour where we saw a ship being loaded with salt. We got a taxi to a car spares shop and bought a radiator cap – hope it fits! It made Roger’s day to see another sub in Torrevieja.
