El Jedida

A relaxed morning was rudely inerrupted when "Doukalla" fired up her auxilliary and main engines for the morning test run.
Kiriwina has quite a high freeboard and "Doukalla" has lowish cooling water outlets so we were OK. A yacht with lower freeboard and similarly moored might get a bit of a shock with a cockpit full of oily water.
Our fenders were sufficient to keep clear of this deep fendering on "Doukalla" though it turned our lines black where they crossed the rubber. There was some surge from passing fishing boats and we had to keep an eye on the moorings.
Kiriwina alongside "Doukalla" with fishing boats moored 3 deep astern.
High water at El Jedida. Fisherman are returning with their catch. A large crowd of buyers is waiting on the quay.
