The weather suddenly shifts and Cartagena feels warm again, so we take the opportunity to head ashore for a relaxed walk around town. A few errands, a leisurely lunch, and a reminder of just how much we enjoy everyday life here before returning home to Helios.

The following day tells a different story. Strong winds arrive as large storms sweep across the Mediterranean, keeping us safely inside. We slow things right down and enjoy one of our favourite simple Spanish comforts — tostada de tomate solo.

It’s a quiet, naturally paced episode about living aboard, listening to the weather, and looking forward to calmer days and getting back out on the water.
