7th June

It was time to head 25 miles to the east. As we set off the port engine exhibited the signs of a rope wrapped round the propeller. Not again! We made our way under sail and with some help from the starboard engine. By four p.m. We were at anchor. There were already another eight boats in the bay. Up to now we've hardly seen any other boats outside of the marinas. It was time to get into the wetsuit again. There was a long length of rope around the propeller. It took some time and nifty knife work but I think I freed it.
