We arrive at Cabo Morayra before the local boaters have lifted their anchors to return to the adjacent harbor.  So we weave our way between the boats to anchor in 6 meters over sand.  Jackie pulls out all the left-over dinners from the past week and we feast on "a little of this and a lot of that."  Afterwards we watch "Dr. Strangelove or how I learned to live the bomb" only to return to the deck at 2100 to discover all the motorboats gone and the sun still shining!  This idyllic setting reminds us of our times at Cape Lookout in North Carolina.

Our stay in Torreviega exceeds our expectations.  We enjoy watching the local dinghy races in the afternoon and the sculling practices early morning and evening.  After our usual relaxed coffee time, we depart at 0900 for passages NE, directly into the little wind available.  It is a quiet day and we motor along until 1600 when we raise the jib to assist the motor.  Costa Blanco is dramatic:  sheer cliffs and incredible buildings line the coast.  We are amazed that the coastal construction has extended this far north of the Costa del Sol.
