The Nomad Citizen Sailing family has finally cast off. Head for the southern sun! First night on board and discovery of night navigation for all the crew told in this episode.

The crew of Nomad Citizen Sailing continues to head south to try to find the sun at the end of 2019. Departure from Rosas in the north of Spain towards Valencia. Thanks to a good weather preparation, the navigation goes like a charm. Almost too much since the crew is doing almost 40 hours on the engine.

Well sheltered in the port of Valencia, Marvin, Daniela and Tara can blow, especially as the wind has risen just outside. This gale mistreats the boat's mooring lines and even ends up breaking the overly tight electrical plug. Mandatory repair.

It will also be an opportunity for this young crew to spend the first night at sea. While two-hour watches were scheduled, Daniela did not wake up, and given the lack of wind, Marvin decided to spend the whole night on deck, dozing in small quarters. As for baby Tara, she didn't wake up all night.
