OH NO,,!!! The Boys are In Town



Saying our farewell to Mar Menor for the short hop up towards Alicante
to await the arrival of Paul Monroe and Pete,
our would be sailors imported especially from the UK for the trip from Santa Pola,
to Mallorca, with a few initial nerves concerning sea sicknes the crew was bound for Calpe,,
our new lillywhites were oiled and ready to go,
with a fine 'Malcolm' breakfast inside them the
calm seas prevailed and all was well for thier introduction to med sailing,,
the boys were kept busy with the light and variable winds to start,
and ever changing sail plans,,, ha ha,, the afternoon breeze soon settled down for a constant direction from the SW and some rest was at hand,
the anticipation of making the port of Calpe seemed all too much for Pete, who deployed his lunchtime burger,, all in aid of feeding the fish,,,,
Calpe looks like a mini Gibraltar with the large rock peninsula standing proud in the evening sunshine,, the pretty port is sure to hold some treasures,,, so all showered and fed with fine pork chops and roasties by our steely eyed chef Malcolm its off to explore,,, great!!
