Dawn breaks and the echo fitness regime commences. We were the only guests of the RYC and awoke to blue skies and fresh breeze. Spurred on by Daren ' s Facebook challenge most of us climbed to the heights of the lookout tower to view the quieter more picturesque Spanish holiday playa. After descending to the beach we swam out to the famous sandstone rock before finishing with the abs challenge on the beach. You should see Daren's abs!!
We set sail with the full canvas hoisted as we passed the marina entrance and began a great 5 hour beat in our best breeze so far. Having re calibrated the log and speed accurately, we achieved our new top speed of 8 knots. All bodies on the rail as saloon kit flew around below. As we approached our destination we were forced to tack to avoid Panamanian tankers and Spanish naval vessels before negotiating a narrow harbour entrance that then opens to a large basin. More yacht club! After a cool down from the 30 deg heat we wander the carthagenian streets and discover numerous artheological sites before settling for what is transpiring to be a great tapas bar.
