Moved on up the coast to Puerto de San Antonio.
Anchored in 4 metres off a promontory dominated by the Hawaii Hotel. Good
shelter from all directions, except possibly a strong westerly. Getting ashore
much easier here with several options around the bay. The town is the second
largest on the Island. Plenty of restaurants and a thriving nightlife. There
being two large clubs for those who wish to dance the night away. Awakening in
the morning, around seven, it was quite a surprise to see legions of young
folk making their way back to their respective hotels. I guess to recover
in time for the next night. Oh, to have that stamina. The town's atmosphere is
O.K. There are no signs of loutish behaviour. Just youngsters out to enjoy
themselves. Apparantly the local police have a policy of zero tolerance, as far
as unsociable behaviour is concerned. Perhaps that's the
reason.
Will probably stay here awhile so that we can get
one or two repairs sorted.
