What this video covers

Dirk and Rigi sail their Lagoon 410 S2, Suria, on a night passage from Almerimar to Gibraltar, anchoring at La Linea in sandy holding that sets firmly.0:08 They revisit the same anchorage used three years earlier, skipping the Rock of Gibraltar hike this time due to a €30-per-person entry fee.1:23 Boat projects occupy much of the stay: Rigi replaces deteriorated side windows using window film sourced from a new hardware store in Palmonis, and later renews the helm-station skylight, adding a sun-protection layer.8:22 The crew provisioned heavily at a Lidl in Palmonis, noting diesel at €1.31/litre there versus €1.14/litre (converted) at Gibraltar's fuel dock.7:28 Wind shifting to west at 22 knots forces a re-anchor to the Palmonis side of the bay; a further move to Algeciras follows when swell makes the original spot uncomfortable.12:17 A J/80 regatta runs in the anchorage.2:48 Departing for what was planned as a Moroccan stop, they change course to Portimão, sailing through the night to avoid a week stuck in Cádiz.17:25 The Rio Arade entrance at Portimão is rough — wind and chop make sail-handling difficult — but they anchor off Ferragudo at 21:30.19:23 A Coppercoat antifouling warranty renewal and a short refit await there.19:51
