San Sebastian, Spain

On our trip from Bilbao to San Sebastian we caught our first fish.   Capt. Glen holding our Spanish mackerel.

The northern coast of Spain was surprisingly picturesque.

San Sebastian does not have a marina so we initially tied up to a mooring ball before an official (marinero) came out to tell us the mooring balls were not strong enough to hold Sea Rose, so we untied and dropped anchor instead.

We lowered the tender and Capt. Glen kindly took Teresa and I ashore for some sight seeing and food.

After a walk around town I took a cold refreshing swim.  Although it was August the water was still very cold.

The cold water does not seem to keep the locals away from the beach.

On day two we decided to hike to the top of the mountain and visit Jesus.

On the way up, we had great views of the town and beaches below.

Can you spot the big guns?

Capt. Glen arriving to pick us up from town.  It was low tide, that’s why he is so low.
