26th May

There was no need for an early start today. We went to the market, had a drink in town and then went 10 miles down the coast to las Dunas. It's in a river and they clearly haven't dredged it lately. There was just enough depth for us to get into the marina. However the lady in the office looked appalled to see us and said there wasn't any room. So back on the boat and another 10 miles further north to Santa Pola. We were planning on leaving the boat here for a week while we flew home. However they say they miscalculated their quote and are charging me more than I anticipated. Perhaps we'll go on to Alicante tomorrow.
