Puerto Sherry

Shortly after tying up the friends who had phoned earlier arrived at the marina and came down to visit the boat. It was good to see them again as they had last been on board when we were in Dover on 3rd June last year. Since then we have sailed 2762 miles.

They are going to show me around later in the evening. This will give me time to get tidied away and have a much needed shower. It has been a hectic trip down from Nazaré but very satisfying to have covered the distance in a relatively short time.

Later I was collected for a visit to town. El Puerto de Santa Maria is not the most attractive place externally but it has a thriving town centre with lots of tapas bars and restaurants. After sampling a good portion of these I caught a taxi back to the marina in the early hours of the morning.
