After a great tuna feast washed down with a fine rioja followed by more Terry 's brandy we elected to have a gentle start. The trip to Almeria is only 24 miles and we have a nice 15 kts sw so should be perfect.
Almerimar is a larger place than first thought worth good facilities. We walk to the chandlers and buy a 12 mm shackle for the kedge anchor.
Its Terry Heather and Colin's last sail but perfect conditions. A broad reach in wall to wall sunshine with music and tapas on deck. What could be nicer! !
We leave the polythene behind as we approach Almeria a large port with a great sailing club and yacht club called Club de Mar. We tie up and clean the boat ready for a crew change.
The club is hosting the Snipe nationals and they are launching under an AP.
Terry and Heather wave reluctant farewelland Colin and I find a great supermarket to replenish supplies. We cook fresh squid then prepare a meal for the new arrivals of peel and beef steaks with new potatoes. By 9.00 Lesley, Tom, Matt, Darren and Russ are all aboard catching up with the news.
