Set of from Altea 0720 eat breakfast as we watched the sunrise...not so romantic when you have another chap for company!

Altea at dawn Dodged the fish farm in the half light.

 

Arrived in Santa Palo Concrete apartment nightmare! No characyer whatsoever. Luckily the marina in well set out and good facilities.

 

We had hoped to catch up with Chris and Geoff Goff at Torrevieja, but Geoff doesn’t get there until the 11th and by then we will be in Agua Dulce. Unfortunately our timings did not coincide...we are on our way to Morocco to meet the third member of the Trans-Atlantic crew at Rabat on 28th – Bill Pitman

 

I am getting concerned regarding the Pacific crossing, currently I have only one crew member....Ken Ideus. I am looking for one more.........Any volunteers or intoductions?? Edward Barlow and Simon Melizan join me in Tonga, but I may lose them both again by New Zealand and Fiji. Edward is doing a season as ski instructor in NZ and Simon will have to come back to UK. Denis will leave WD at the end of the Panama Canal and is joining me again in  Australia. So I need another person from Panama to Autralia, or further.
