We have adopted the Spanish ways, eating dinner at 11:00 pm and not shopping in the afternoon. Everything goes quiet in the afternoon with little activity until about 4:00pm.
Tying your yacht to a public mooring is no different to reversing a caravan onto a camp site. Everybody is watching while the tension on your boat rises. There is a collective sigh of relief when the boat is secure. It’s no different to caravanning, just wetter and if you drop something over the side it’s gone.
The following phrase has not been heard during our whole time in Spain: ‘Gosh, Brexit was such a good idea!’
The coastline is nothing like you will see in Australia. There are deep coves (calas in Spanish) that offer stunning mornings with deep crystal clear water and wonderful beaches. As you sail along these coves are not immediately obvious and it is not until you motor in do you appreciate these amazing moorings.
We have moored into one of these coves and swam to the beach for a seafood lunch at a quaint restaurant under the trees.
This is the place for big boy toys. There are yachts, motor boats, fliteboards, SUPS, seabobs (underwater scooters), para gliders and more. The Med is perfect for these distractions. The water is warm and crystal clear and the seas generally calm with no ocean swells.
