Playa de Santa Catalina

I spent the morning catching up on a variety of small jobs around the boat and visited Velas Climent who have a workshop on the other side of the marina. I wanted to enquire about having a sun awning made.
They were very helpful and quoted €360 for the job saying they would have it ready by next monday. We shall see. Later they sent someone round to check the measurements and layout.
Later I went for an old fashioned afternoon at the beach on Playa de Santa Catalina a couple of kilometres up the bay towards Rota. The sand and water were very warm but the water was quite murky with low visibility. Not too good for snorkelling.
I spent some time body surfing in the small waves, something I had not done for a very long time, and just as I was about to leave the water a slightly larger wave threw me about such that my mask and one fin became detached. It took 45 minutes and a lot of wading through the shallows before I finally found them about 150m further down the beach.
