Once all the fishing boats had left we had a quiet night.

In the morning they came back leaving us surging up and down in their wake. "Al-Manal" started their auxiliary and an outlet hose began pumping dirty harbour water on our deck.

Our mooring in Safi.


An ageing passenger vessel moored ahead of Kiriwina in Safi.


Time to get up, move the hose and attend to our mooring lines. After over 2 weeks in Morocco Kiriwina is very dirty. Some light rain showers gave her a bit of a rinse but she is going to need a good clean when we get to the Canaries.

We went ashore for a stroll visiting first the pottery quarter just outside the city walls and later Safi castle. Another of the many Portuguese castles on this coast.
