Calpe

We have pulled into Real Club Nautico in Calpe, Spain.
What an awesome location. The harbor sits right behind a 1000ft tall rock. I'm sure it's even more stunning in daylight.

Everyone had had enough of bashing to windward and wanted a break. We were really pounding into 3-4 meter waves, burying the tips of the hulls occasionally.
So we are now in a harbor and you could hear a pin drop. What a contrast to Poseidon's hammer. The marina happened to have two empty berths next to each other so our cat fits beautifully occupying both spaces.
We were all perplexed on how to moor stern-to without any pilings but the dock manager assisted us.
Fortunately it was calm enough in the harbor that I didn't have to deal with any current or wind to speak of while maneuvering and we didn't even brush into anything or touch a fender.
Carlos was my savior in translating the paperwork required and 30 minutes later we were all checked in. Got back to the boat to Nico with cooked sausages, carrots and warm bread. Opened a bottle of wine to complete the meal.
What a day!

Pete's helping to find a good location for the boat for a month from his home base. Hopefully we can find something within a 24 hour sail (~160 miles)
ETD 9:00 am tomorrow.
