We left Almerimar again in lovely sunshine and headed for our next stop Almeria being new to the med we called them on the VHF and asked them if we could have a berth for a couple of days. The answer was a definate NO they said that they were full and had no spot for visitors. As we passed we found ourselves in the middle of an American battle fleet with all sorts of craft buzzing around the place. As is the American way they considered us a bloody nuisance and made things a bit difficult to manouver around the many fish farms in the area. We decided to give the next place close a look Aguadulce. God what a difference. We arrived unanounced and reported to the tower. We were met by a lovely spanish lady who spoke perfect english and a beautifull smile. How may I help you she asked. After I got over the initial shock I asked her if we could stay for a couple of nights. No Problemo and we were helped to a fore and aft mooring. We spent about a week there and on one day we decided to visit the port of Almeria to see all the yachts. Bloody liars there was 60 empty places.
their loss. One night we were getting ready for dinner and I was having a fag when I watched the wind indicator go from 5knots to 55 knots in 3 mins. We were glad to be in a safe berth
