We were initially berthed in a secluded area of the marina that did not allow for easy on/off access to Sea Rose…

…especially during high tide.  Teresa could not board without assistance.

After some Spanish diplomacy with “her people” Teresa was able to get us moved to a “Platinum location”.  Well done Teresa!  Now we can get on and off Sea Rose at anytime without risking life and limb.

The winds have started coming out of the east which is good for our trip, but bad for all the sand it carries with it from the Sahara Desert.

Sea Rose has been blanketed with fine sand for the last few days. (forward hatch)
