300 nautical miles

South sun – Sail training – Warm seas – Ancient Greek heritage
Sum and substance
It’s a 300 mile leg along the Spanish coast. Even though it’s February, the sun is going to be nice and hot, warming us, weary sailors, up after the long winter. We’ll gather aboard Shtandart to learn some basic seamanship, do some sightseeing in ancient coastal towns along the way and work on our base tan.
Sail training

From your very first day aboard begins the path of discovery: how to set sails, how to steer the ship by compass and landmarks. We’ll study navigational aids by day and learn to recognize ships and shore by night.
Itinerary
After the safety speech and initial ship handling training, we’ll enter the Mediterranean Sea through a narrow passage between tall rocks. Cartagena became a fortified port back in some old BCs for a reason!

We set sails and set a course North-East, towards Cape Nao (Cabo de la Nao – The Ships’ Cape). Possible ports of call are modern Alicante and ancient Valencia. If the seas are calm enough we’ll visit an underwater volcanic vent on the pirate islands of Columbretes.

The endpoint of our journey is going to be Port Tarraco in Tarragona. The crew will have a chance to see the Roman Amphitheatre and walk the narrow streets of this old Spanish town.
