Guess what the wind has changed to the SW with all of 7/11knots. So we actually got a few sails up to assist the engine on the small 15 mile trip to Marina del Este. The sea had quite a swell which made Ailson a little concerned for a while but soon she settled down.
 
On route we passed Nerja - Paul knows it well. Picture attached.
 
On rounding the corner for the marina we found a lovely sheltered bay dropped the anchor and had a swim. Picy 2. I am not sure the anchor was holding very well in the rocks and happily it came up without problems.
 
The marina is very small but seems delightful - I am sure we will stay here two nights. - I was surprised to get in, but the same story from the staff 'the finacial crisis has stopped the crowds'.
 
More tomorrow.
