Next stop Cartagena


The trip from Cabo de Palos to Cartagena was realy lovely we had a little wind so motore sailed all the way. Once again the Pilot book was Wrong it showed an entrance to the east of the main channel which when we got there had a dam great big concrete pier across it. we decided to use the west entrance which is straight forward and arrived in the marina to a lovely welcome with the staff helping us moore the boat up for the first time fore and aft. You come in forward they take your forward lines and you pick up the stern lines with the hook.It was easy.We asked if there was a super market where we could stock up and were told it is straight down that road. To shorten the storey to a low boredom threshold we walked 20 kilometres in all and when we got back we had seen half of spain on foot and a circus.
