I have spent the last few days renewing
aquaintances in Mazarron. Tina and Tony are here on their beautiful Jeaneau
54 Tioram 4 which has been to Greece and back since I saw them here last
year.
The most exciting thing has been seeing Manuel's
new boat an American Mason 33. We sailed up to Cartagena and accompanied them
back to Mazarron on her maiden voyage.
 This is the first time Manuel had taken her out.
The first trip was just a few hundred metres to the fuel pontoon. Then we set
off to Mazarron motoring along the coast.
 Florence May has beautiful lines. She was built in
1986 and the quality of her interior is quite exceptional. She doesn't really
have a bent mast and the buildings in the background are not really falling
over.........this is a problem with my mobile phone camera.
 The Spanish rescue services were standing by just
in case we had a problem!
 It was a beautiful day. The downside was a lack of
wind so we couldn't sail.
I plan to leave Mazarron today and gently cruise up
to Denia before crossing to the Balearics and spending a few weeks there. I will
probably then return to Cartagena and leave Minka there whilst I return to the
UK for Christmas.
