Seville Day 1
We cheated and took the train to Seville and, treat of treats, stayed overnight in a hotel, because the journey was quite a long one. We were across a small square from the cathedral, looking at its impressive bell tower. … Continue reading
Cadiz
The Marina Puerto America is built in the remains of an old fish dock and they have been careful not to change the ambience of the place. Manoeuvring is tight, but John’s steering was spot on and our lines were … Continue reading

Day 2, Weymouth to Plymouth
After consulting the weather forecast, which predicted dire conditions on Thursday, Graham recommended we put in a long day and go straight to Plymouth. This would leave us with just a short journey to Falmouth before the weather broke, arriving … Continue reading
Provisions
Before we returned the hire car we went shopping to provision the boat in Waitrose – very posh. It was manic, the entire population of Lymington seemed to be there stocking up for the coming bank holiday. We were glad … Continue reading
