Great place to get stuff done, not pretty! Miles from the soulless town of El Egido this vast marina stands in a massive development of hundreds of, mostly empty, flats, they are still building more, why? Its a mystery. However, forgot to mention in the last blog that our starboard mast winch fell overboard on our trip here! Fairly disastrous, I have never heard of it happening before and neither has the chandler, he is obviously not as upset as we are as he swcouts around for another or the replacement parts, I can see £500 going on this, never mind, thats sailing! Good day with lots of jobs done, sunshine and light breezes, organised transport to and from airport and ordered lots of bits we have been having trouble locating.
