Free Moorings

Free moorings in the old port at San Isidro if one is lucky enough to get a place.
This little plaque was tacked away near the station in San Isidro. It struck me as slightly odd that the King of Spain would be doing this.

San Isidro - Old Port
10/04/09 21:48
This morning I decided to give my newly repaired dinghy a run in the Rio Lujan. The outboard started at once and ran well. Later the old problem of refusing to restart when hot re-appeared.
Anyway, I motored down to the old port at San Isidro where Menkar is moored. The port used to be the main import terminal for Uruguyan sand but silted up and is now occupied by a selection of Club Nauticos.
Shallow parts around the old terminal with derelict crumbling quays are used for free mooring by a small community of mainly aging boats. Several berths are obstructed by sunken yachts.
On the way back I managed to drop my mobile phone into the Rio Lujan. Quite how I am not sure but it has gone.
