Tuesday 23rd and Wednesday 24th July

The anchor held overnight and we headed off mid morning to Rota on the west side of the bay. It was only 6.5 miles but the paperwork in the marina took almost as long to complete as the journey over. We just had time to go into town for some food shopping before Kennan and Melanie arrived from Seville. In the afternoon our guest wandered down to the local beach and in the evening we went into Rota to eat. We discovered the other more popular and extensive beach. We walked along it back to the boat. In the morning we took the ferry across the bay to Cadiz. This historic town has a new cathedral built in the 1800s, some cool alleyways and a shop selling cod pasties. We stocked up in the food market and ate lunch nearby. It was hot in the early afternoon when we took the ferry back to Rota. A walk, shower and supper on board.
