We had intended setting off earlyish in the morning for our next port of call but instead we had a lazy start to the day and by the time we'd had our breakfast and then a surprise visit from the Azimut agent for southern Spain, most of the morning was gone. So was the sunshine! It was hot but overcast as we set off but within a quarter or an hour or so, visibility suddenly decreased as we were enveloped in mist. We fired up the radar and kept a look out on it for other boats. At one point another Azimut loomed out of the mist just metres away to our port and travelling at full pelt - we had been expecting him but whether he was expecting to see us was another matter. The mist rose and fell and with it the visibility so we had to keep the speed down, making the short hop to Marine del Este rather longer than we'd anticipated. Not far from our destination, we dropped anchor in a bay beneath a beautiful village perched on the edge of a rocky hillside and enjoyed a late lunch and a laze through the afternoon.
When we got to the marina we had our first stern to berthing with just the two of us on board. It all went surprisingly well, although one of my arms is now six inches longer than the other. This boating lark is hard work you know!
