Well, we did get here as planned arriving just as
the sun was coming up, giving us sufficient daylight to avoid the coming and
going of some enourmous freighters. Whatever the rules of the road say we give
them a wide berth!!
This is a really big commercial port, but the
Marina, also large, is charming, well managed with super staff and a very
helpful and well stocked chandlery.Not only that but we have been able to get
temporary memebership of the Yacht Club with good washing facilities and a
pool!
  A very relaxing view of the
Marina!
Navel Chappie, Graham, helping load the outboard for a service
We had a big clean up of the boat. Graham did a
stunning job of fitting the new stove ( the old one having got completely wasted
in Biscay), together with a myriad of other jobs, it has all but taken up the
last two days.
  Crew off
duty....... Whilst
I have the task of sorting out how our new Parasail is going to
work!
Ah well, home at the weekend before we come back
for the final fling. So far we've clocked near enough 1,700 miles just getting
to the start.
