We were 6 mikes out of Valencia and I was mentally composing a blog to say how uneventful the day had been. There was a soft thump followed by a judder and the port engine groaned a protest. Something was wrong, again. An underwater video showed something large and blue was wrapped round the propeller. There was only one thing for it; send Paul over the side. So in mid ocean he bravely entered the water in mask and snorkel clutching a pair of scissors. While Lucinda and I lazed on deck he worked away. The photo shows about half of what he freed up. The rest floated away and we hope it doesn't snare anyone else. Anyway we are now safely in Valencia where we ran into Jonathan and Karen on Farrfelu. Our hero Paul sadly has to leave to the airport. We will stay here 2 or 3 days.
