July 15th - Cartegena Spain
Friday, July 15, 2011 at 02:27AM We left Gibraltar a few days ago with our sights set on the Belaeric islands (IBIZA, MALLORCA, MINORCA). We stopped in Estapona for a night to refuel our propane tanks (It's difficult to find someone to fill US tanks - everything is different here...)
On our second night at sea we bumped into a Gale and decided to make for a sheltered cove. After a few hours of beating into the weather, we anchored in a cute little fishing village (San Jose) and go some needed rest.
The next day we left and both Janet and I fell ill (Flu we think) and so decided to make for Cartegena for a rest. Another excellent spanish town with a lot of history (read castles, forts, museums, etc.) and a lovely marina with a pool and a very short walk to town.
Today we're on the way again - making for Formentera (a small island south of Ibiza) Apparently the beaches are pure white magic.
