Costa del polythene

Now there is good news and bad news. First it's Colin Davis's birthday- happy birthday Colin!  Sadly he dragged a line around the Bay of Biscay for 1000 miles but didn't catch a thing. The good news is that Colin Rainback caught the only Tuna in the Mediterranean because he knew which colour lure they like. Blue on Fridays. So its tuna steaks tonight! !
Did you know that the world's biggest greenhouse is in the Costa del Sol?  Miles of white polythene greenhouse cover the coast around Almiramar. The biggest producer of salad for the EU. And the soil is an artificial mix of sand and manure. Britain is its largest customer but the supermarkets deny it.
Anyway I detract from the rest of the 45 mile journey from Marina del Este to Almerimar which was beautiful with several tiers of green mountains in front of snow clad giants lurking in the haze. No more Benalmadena condos.
10 degrees hotter today 38 degrees! !! and 18 kts of breeze but sadly on the nose.
Last night's berth was 60 euros the most so far but it was special so no complaints. But tonight in Almiramar just 34 euros and last week low season 13 euros! ! No wonder all the Brits overwinter here. By the way Kev your ship was here last year for one night on Oct 10th with previous owner.
Met an interesting liveaboard chap who has a 40 year old steel and timber 40 ft ketch with interior like a classic narrow boat. Works 5 weeks on 5 off as an oil prospector dragging a 5 Sq km sensor around with a 40 ft twin 600hp rib which looks 15 km under ground for anything useful even though we can't extract it yet!
Time for a fishy tea. Last day for some tomorrow as we change crew at Almeria.
