Its not our fault

These 4 words are spoken in the med more than anything else. our next port of call was Almerimar. In its self not a bad port and the supermarket is well stocked and very close to the marina (4min walk). When we arrived we reported at the tower as usual and a marinero was dispatched with us to moor up fore and aft. He passed the ropes and we tied them on. I told him he had given us the wrong stern rope as it passed under the hull and I said it could catch in the prop when we leave. Its a no problemo signor!
The day we were leaving guess what yep the stern rope straight in the prop. I called the port office and they sent a diver to clear the prop and his first remark was you had the wrong line on the stern. as we left we had to call at the port office where we got a €75 bill after trying to argue the fact that it was their fault we gave up and left. As we said a nice place but the staff not so good.
