Jeff and I arrived here in Port Ginesta 41:15.423N 1:55.287E on wednesday 5thSeptember, having had a good trip from Port Napoleon with a North Westerly pushing us most of the way across the Gulf of Lion then a strong South Westerly head wind made us change our course and we ended up in Port de la Selva.Must not complain its hot and sunny, most days it 30 deg.
 Managed to sail the Tinker in Port Selva bay and go for a swim. The water is still cold at 19deg C, this was solved in Arenys de Mar, where the yacht club had its own 20metre pool and yes we had to use it a lot.
Young Jeff flew back from Barcelona last night and I am just awaiting Lynn to arrive tomorrow night 7th September so we can set off south to Alicante and Cartagana. This is going to be a long trip, as its straight across the Gulf of Sant Jordi and Gulf of Valencia to Cabo de la Nao and then down the coast to Cartagana. About 200 miles in all so an overnight voyage.
Still getting to grips with this Sat Phone system for email. If you get it wrong costs a fortune. Had comms port issues with the laptop. No I don't understand either!! Anyway it works now.
