Malua is at 36:09.43N 05:21.83W at La Linea Spain on 8/9/2012
We left the marina at Estapona soon after breakfast for the short trip to
Gibraltar. The AIS was working overtime with 144 ships within a 12 nm
range. As we approached Gibraltar rock the alarm was going off so
frequently that I switched it off. We turned the corner and headed for the
marina at the end of the runway and called ch 71 to request a berth. Sorry
we are full because of the bank holiday weekend. Why a marina is full on
those days I do not know but my principle of not being in a marina on a Sunday
because the town is closed came good so we just turned round and crossed back
into Spain and went to La Linea and dropped anchor outside their marina.
In a few days we will entre and stay a while.
Another magical moment on Malua |
