In our passage eastwards to the Cabo de Gata we have inspected from the sea and along-side the delights (!!!) of the high rise and capacity built English resorts of the Costa Del Sol, which represents the turning point north east and the Costa Blanca. Fuengonila, Marbella, Herradurra anchorage (bumpy night) brought us to a purpose built McAlpine marina village called Almerimar. With our German sailing friends (Halberg Rassy 39) we took advantage of supermarkets, chandleries and water maker experts. It proved to be a valuable four days - and the cheapest berthing so far. One more set of parts to get from UK and, fingers crossed, the water maker should be functioning and in tip top performance. After four days we bade our friends goodbye leaving them to arrange their winter berthing there to which they will return in September. A likely pit stop for us on the way back. Friday night was spent in another bumpy bay 15 miles north of Cabo de Gata with so much more sailing during the day then we have experienced of late. Today the winds are forecast to blow us NE nicely across the Gulfo Veram, so we should be in Cartegena by nightfall.
