Alboran Sea
21 May 2016 | Estepona, Costa del Sol

From Agua Dulce it was a mixed bag of sailing, and motoring but we had the assy kite up for a while. The destination was Marina del Este into which we were guided by a tuna fish! Hard to believe. Wish we had had a lure out the back. The marina itself is quite pretty but badly affected by surge, making for a restless night. We had a good fish meal at the restaurant just a few steps from the boat. Then on to Estepona in flat calms all day. The massive mountain ranges including the snow capped Sierra Nevada were visible making for an impressive backdrop to the remarkably bland coastal strip populated by incredible numbers of high rise apartment buildings. It actually makes the Gold Coast look quite good. We passed Malaga and Torremolinos, thinking about the travel agent skit from Monty Python (“ and only a bleedin’ lizard in the bidet”). So now we are in striking distance of Gibraltar.
