24th May

We're now at anchor outside an inland sea called the Mar Menor, near La Manga. Lucinda envisioned 10 miles of isolated beaches. It is 10 miles of high rise apartments all along the sand spit on the seaward side of the Mar. We're at anchor in the outer harbour. However they have obviously decided to build another marina here as we threaded our way through walls of iron pilings into a sort of marine prison yard.
