| Beach at Al-Hoceima |
MONDAY 23 JUNE 2008
It was a misty start to the day, so we put the radar up. After telling the police we were leaving, we sailed past Penon de Velez where there is a rock still in possession of the Spanish which the Moroccans would like back. We spotted dolphins, but they didn’t come and play with the boat.
We motor-sailed the whole way and the wind got up and the sun came out just as we arrived. We berthed on the quay opposite the ferry terminal, which is covered in guano. There was one another visiting boat there belonging to a French couple who have a flat in Lagos. A policeman and policewoman came on board and looked in a lot of the lockers on the boat.
When all the formalities were over we walked up the steep hill to the town and had lunch in a restaurant overlooking the beautiful bay. I bought a leather belt hand made by the Berbers from a very friendly shopkeeper, and because we said ‘Thank You’ in Arabic ('Shukran') he taught us to say ‘Thank You’ in Berber.
