Thursday 25th July

We tried to get away early for a longish leg to El Rompido. The wind was light for the first few hours. It picked up in the early afternoon and we closed reached the rest of the way in 15 to 20 knots of wind. Last Monday they moved the channel into the rivers one 200 metres to the west. That caused a few anxious moments as I wasn't aware of it and the chart plotter had us sailing over dry land. We considered anchoring but with limited space, shallow water and Spring tides we decided to go back to the marina. We are now berthed next to a 62 foot Lagoon catamaran. Makes me feel humble. A shower, drink and then off along the shore to the restaurants.
