The only problem was that it was too hot for much walking. Still, a morning coastal walk followed by a swim and a good lunch in a fish restaurant overlooking a small cove isn't all bad.
We crossed back to Sitges on the mainland in a 20 hour motor in dead still conditions. It was good that Alistair was with us to help with the watch-keeping. And at least it was slightly cooler overnight. Then from Sitges to Castelldefels, where we used to live. We've had a nostalgiafest of meeting up with old friends, and revisiting old haunts. The place has changed, of course, and in our view, mainly for the better. Behaviour has changed too - cars screech to a halt at zebra crossings. Ther's hardly any litter. It's certainly more developed in all senses.
And now on to Mataro, to see more old friends, and to pick up Marion and Cathy who are having a weekend with us in the Costa Brava...
I hope you have managed to get the mast problem sorted out, I had half expected a phone call...
ReplyDeleteGood luck anyway, my brother-in-law, Claude, asked me if you had managed to get anything sorted...
Love to Marion & Catherine, hope they are both well
Well I do hope you got the mast down OK today - but I'm sure the professional help did it with ease
ReplyDeleteNo hay corrida in Catalunya - que pena!
Hope you enjoy the Canal and that the French are not too numerous en conge
Hi!
ReplyDeleteI am looking for anyone that knows about the Marina in Vivero, Spain. It has gone bankrupt and my sailboat is there on land, 35ft , Camper Nicholson named Aven. I have heard the police impounded the travel lift. I have no way of getting her back in the water and want to desperately. I will be there Aug. 20th to sort this out. Would a crane work? What are my options? Shes 10 tonnes.

Sorry about your plight Linda. We didn't go to Vivero, so we can't help, I'm afraid.
