Off at 08:20 and a very pleasant sail up to Marbella. We did a bit of spring cleaning along the way, with S using the Spotless Stainless, which works very well. I tightened up all the guard rails and they look a lot better.
We anchored off Marbella and in retrospect we should not have tried to get the dinghy in the water in the swell that was running. No harm done, but a lesson learned.
Met Ted and Angela for a lovely lunch in La Levante on the waterside. The last time we had seen them was in the Clothiers in Stocksmoor. We have come a long way in the meantime...
It was a great spot and my grilled octopus tentacle was delicious. After lunch Ted and Angela came aboard for a while. There was no wind, so we just motored around. S put Ted and Angela ashore in the dinghy. It was good to see them.
We wanted to make some more miles towards Ibiza, so set off again at about 18:00 and motored East.
