Day 2: Vilanova - Tarragona (23 Nm)
24 July 2006 | Port Esportiu de Tarragona
Tom
Another succesful trip. Only 23 Nm but done in more than 7 hours. We motored out from Vilanova at 9:30 am. The sea was flat as a mirror and the sky a bit cloudy, which made it much more bearable than yesterday. After 1,5 hours a southern wind set in and although not very strong, we decided to continue sailing the whole day. No hurry. We are on holidays! During the trip we catched two small fishes and we didn't really feel like eating them, so we threw them back into the water. At 5pm we reached Tarragona Port Esportiu. On entering the marina we had to cross a flock of children sailors in little optimists and one of them almost ended up under the keel of Iris. Fortunately the kid didn't get hurt. We were assigned a bert on a pontoon for small boats and it costed me quite some manoeuvering to get Iris in her slot.
