Arenys de Mar 🇪🇸 | A Small Marina That Kept Us Longer Than Planned | Sailing Helios S03E41

In this episode, we sail into Arenys de Mar, a small marina and coastal town we knew very little about before arriving. As is often the case in sailing life, we never quite know what to expect from these smaller stops — but Arenys de Mar surprises us in the best way. What was meant to be a quick two-day visit quickly turns into four as we settle into marina life, explore the town, and enjoy the relaxed local atmosphere. We wander the streets, soak up the charm of this Catalan seaside town, and catch up with fellow sailors we’ve met through Facebook and the wider cruising community. While we’re here, Helios finally gets a much-needed wash — always a satisfying job after weeks on the water — before we continue our journey down the Spanish coast. If you enjoy authentic sailing adventures, real cruising decisions, marina life, and discovering lesser-known coastal towns, this episode is for you. ⚓ In this episode: Sailing the Spanish coast Marina life in Arenys de Mar Exploring a small Catalan seaside town Meeting other cruising sailors Boat maintenance & giving Helios a proper wash Episode S03E41 Recorded: Late September 2025 Support Our Journey: 🔗 Check out www.sailinghelios.com for exclusive behind-the-scenes content 📸 Follow us on Instagram for updates: https://www.instagram.com/sailinghelios2023/ 📸 Follow us on Facebook for updates: https://www.facebook.com/groups/sailinghelios 4K Video Chapters: 00:00 Bugger, we forgot to stow the dinghy 03:54 Best docking ever! 09:08 Exploring Arenys de Mar 15:00 We forgot to leave 18:07 It's finished! 19:10 Washing the boat
