20 July 2010 | Faro - Chipiona (Spain again)
Monday 19th July
Early start and the sea was like glass, not a zephyr of wind. Motored for a couple of hours but the best thing was it was dolphin day!! Or Tursiops Truncatus according to my book which is Bottlenose dolphins to you and me. We had two handfuls swimming across our bow in the morning and in the afternoon we saw one massive pod that was fluking about and another that went across our stern. Ive never seen dolphins jumping in the wild before it was fantasmagorical.......
Managed to goosewing sail in the afternoon and got overtaken by a Sun Odyssey then realised they had their engine on too.... Arrived in Chipiona (back in Spain!!) at 9pm (now 10pm)......
Tuesday 20th July
This is seagull city.. Except on our pontoon with our sentinels.ha ha.. lots of guano. Marina very close to a typical Spanish resort town... quite pretty with a big lighthouse, cafes overlooking the beach but quite basic with real people.
Off to Puerto Santa Maria tomorrow to meet up with Louis, Alex and Tharkle. Yay!
