    Hondarrabia Spain

    August 13, 2017 in Spain ⋅ ☀️ 22 °C

    We made it 23hours of motor sailing and 141miles, the conditions were good light winds that died early evening and by 5am sea flat. Our first sight of the Spanish coast as the sun rose was of mountains, stunning.
    We had tried to go to the French Port on the other side of the estuary, but once we got in and were along side another boat the marina rep came to say they were full. Why they hadn't just answered my radio call and told me is anyone’s guess. We were going French just because we hadn't checked the Spanish phrases etc and after working 2hour watching shifts my brain was struggling. But needs must and I asked for a place in my best pigeon Spanish and yes Golf cinco (G5) was ours for the taking, still no wind so we got in OK with a fellow sailors assistance.
    Town is different with what look like Swiss Mountain chalets as well as high rises. Off to bed now for a Siesta.
