11 days we stayed in Almerimar and the time just flew by. We could not do much on the ship and have especially enjoyed being together again with loved ones. This is where a lot of cruising and it was exciting to have blown from the wind always tauschen.Nachdem West he made an almost entirely. Nevertheless, we decide to proceed.

On Wednesday we set off and engines, as there is no wind, 48 knots on the bay of La Herradura. On the trail we spot a large school of dolphins and look forward to their jumps. In the Bay we are two days at anchor.

Finally, we can once again enjoy a swim in the sea. Brrr! The water has cooled markedly. Yes, unfortunately, is also with us the summer heat vanished and in the evening we have (especially hervorsuchen Lilian) long pants and sweaters.
La Herradura is a small holiday village. We see a pretty small market hall and Beach Bar.
In the evening we watch a beautiful sunset and take for the rolling of our ship gladly accepted. Since there is no wind, we lie transverse to the swell. For the second night we put out a stern anchor, and thus have a little more rest.

Continue to be the wind coming, but for the next day is bad weather the day. We go to on Friday morning anchor and make our way along the Costa del Sol, to 38 nm away Marina in Benalmadena. This should be a beautiful and still cheap Marina. We are curious.

We drive through leaden sea, the swell rocked slightly and the current pushes us forward with a kn, so we kn with six manage to meet our goal.

In the meantime, we have arrived at the marina and not so excited as there are other sailors are described. The marina is part of a tourist town and is surrounded by apartment buildings. Its unique architecture has a hint of 1001 night. With all the souvenir shops and other offers we feel a little bit before, as in Disneyland.

For six months, we have the first real rain. We are happy, so at least once the masts and the rigging be flushed. When Hans Peter climbs every time he comes very dirty and black at the bottom again. The next day the weather should remain so and we will be up at 3.10. be here, because then Livia Mathias and comes to visit. We look forward to huge.

During this time we have internet on board and look forward to always hear something from you by mail or Skype.
